Rosarium Publishing is a fledgling publisher, which specializes in speculative fiction, comics, and a touch of crime fiction–all created by authors of multicultural backgrounds. Founder Bill Campbell was told by publishers that his books had no market, so he created one of his own, starting Rosarium with one goal in mind: to bring true diversity to publishing so that the books and comics we enjoy actually reflect the fascinating, multicultural world we truly live in today.
Since 2013 when the company was founded, Rosarium Publishing has been financed by the founder’s day job. Now that they have experienced rapid growth, they need to move away from print-on-demand, which has turned out to be too expensive. If their Indiegogo campaign is successful, they will be able to print thousands of books to continue their mission, and hire a publicist to bring them in to the public eye.
They’ve garnered some support on Twitter…
