Row House is “Raising the Volume on Voices That Matter” and publishing books at the intersection of literature and social justice.

“I'm not trying to go for just more Black and brown, queer, and disabled voices on the shelves. I want to disproportionately stack the shelves with these voices.” — Rebekah Borucki, Founder & President

Row House offers an equitable publishing model that represents the values and diversity of the authors and audience we embrace.

From the outset, Row House has been a revolutionary model building a community of authors from diverse backgrounds committed to supporting each other and imprints publishing a wide range of genres: award-winning non-fiction titles at Row House; children’s and young adult literature at Wheat Penny Press and 100 Block Futures; humor and fantasy at 100 Block by Row House; inclusive romance at Generous Press; and tools for small businesses and entrepreneurs at small.

Row House books are as unique as their authors, yet they share several distinctive traits. Our books...
  • Speak through a social justice lens, center those pushed into the margins, and challenge the status quo with courage, creativity, and critical thinking. (The Antiracist Business Book by Trudi Lebrón and The Day God Saw Me as Black by D. Danyelle Thomas)

  • Start new conversations, introduce novel concepts, and shed light on culturally significant but overlooked movements. (Hey, Hun by Emily Lynn Paulson)

  • Expand discussions by replacing false narratives with truth, especially those regarding identity, culture, and history. (The Humanity Archive by Jermaine Fowler and Brown Enough by Christopher Rivas)

  • Exemplify a “for us, by us” model, but also serve readers outside of the author’s immediate community or who might not share the author’s identity or experiences. (All the Black Girls Are Activists by EbonyJanice Moore and We Alive, Beloved by Frederick Joseph)

  • Align with the core themes and values of the company and its existing catalog, facilitating a cohesive conversation among various works. (Hood Wellness by Tamela Julia Gordon)

  • Champion collective liberation, center joy, and acknowledge the beauty inherent in our diverse intersecting identities. (Adventurous Adeline by Mary Fashik and Someplace Generous, an inclusive romance anthology)
