Contrarian Publishing LLC[1] is an author-subsidized publishing company that offers flexible editorial and production services to writers, allowing them to be as involved in the process as they choose. The company is independently run primarily by three Asian women based in Brooklyn, NY.
Origin
While unclear when exactly they were founded, sources[2][3] say they were officially registered on August 7, 2025. Their Instagram suggests they've been around for a while, as their first post[4] was published on May 31, 2024; furthermore, their first LinkedIn post[5] was created around 11 months ago.
Founder: Jamie Ryu
NYU alumni and former employee of Big 5 companies HarperCollins and Macmillan, Jamie Ryu[6], founded Contrarian Publishing to assist indie authors in achieving success. She herself offers editorial services while her company spans to help with a mix of editorial design to typesetting, as well as publishing the works of many authors.
While working in her Big 5 position, she noticed a pattern of underpaid and overworked people within the publishing industry. Jamie wanted to expound upon not only her ability to publish, but also to edit, typeset, design, and market the books of her clients. She wanted to give authors a chance to look into their future so they could succeed.
"Many authors are scared of editorial because they worry that the heart and soul of their project, their core ideas and messaging, will change. With us and with any good editor, that is never the case. We want to do whatever we can to help bring an author’s vision to life while also ensuring that it’s an enjoyable reading experience for the audience."
Mission
Contrarian Publishing has been consistent with its mission: Where authors choose their own paths.
