Dogstar is the independent literary press devoted to beauty and authenticity in the age of algorithms.
We were founded as a home for writers and readers crafting and searching for beautiful, sincere, human-made fiction.
Named after the Dog Star—the brightest star in the sky that is most striking during the darkest stretch of night—Dogstar publishes immersive, artful novels that search for light, meaning, and transcendence, without yielding to external forces.
Our call for author submissions will open in Spring 2026 with our first title publishing in September 2026.
Every Dogstar book carries our 100% Human seal.
Backed by a legally-binding verification process—and other elements that deepen the human connection between authors and readers—this seal is an author’s promise of authenticity.
It is a signpost for readers who believe literature can only be conceived and crafted by human beings.
