11th House
The Astrological House of Neurodiversity, progressive futures, large communication networks, innovation, and hope for humanity.
It is also the energy of the outsider, which can make getting published more difficult by default. After seeing too many great neurodivergent narratives pushed aside for not being stereotypical in nature, or neurodivergent academics with world-changing ideas having their manuscripts tossed aside so as not to upset the status quo, we're handing them a megaphone and linking into the satellite network.
Forget the shareholders.
This is humanity's house.
No more "Well it's good but we can't figure out how to market it."
We innovate.
We pay everyone involved well and then infuse the profits back into the community through grants.
We are not dragons that hoard; we are dragons that toast your marshmallows and lift you into a bright blue future.
You are the wind and you are our wings.
Sm'ore?

Nikki DeKeuster
Founder
My background includes a decade-plus of nonprofit experience, a decade in the writing, editing, and indie-publishing field, and 44 years of being a neurodivergent rebel.
Giving a home and a platform to those who thrive outside the box seems like the perfect way to upend the system in ways that will benefit everyone. I am all about win/win/win situations.
