We seek out voices that transcend the ordinary. Our catalog spans a diverse range of formats, always united by a commitment to literary excellence and intellectual rigor:
-
Fiction & Storytelling: We champion narratives that explore the depth of the human experience.

-
Non-Fiction: Our non-fiction titles are grounded in meticulous research and philosophical inquiry. We publish works that examine history, art, and society, with a special affinity for texts that explore personal resilience, the mastery of the inner self, and the enduring wisdom of focusing on what is within our control.
What Drives Us
The GENii Ethos
The name Genii refers to the attendant spirits of classical antiquity—the guiding forces of intellect, inspiration, and character. We approach publishing with this same reverence. We do not just print books; we cultivate enduring ideas. Genii Publishing is a home for writers who treat their craft as an art form and readers who approach every text as an essential conversation.
Our Mission
Our Mission Genii Publishing is an independent press dedicated to the enduring power of high-minded literature. We believe that words are more than just ink on a page; they are the guiding spirits of culture and intellect. Our mission is to curate and produce exceptional fiction, non-fiction, and short stories that challenge the mind, elevate the discourse, and offer profound insights into the human condition.
Featured Author
Max Scribendi
Max Scribendi writes science fiction for those who look at the unexplained gaps in history and see a deliberate pattern.
Based in the rugged, quiet landscape of Northern Ontario, Max is a firm believer in the grounding power of the physical world. He prefers the mechanics of nature and the steady application of Stoic philosophy over the noise of the modern crowd.
When he isn’t exploring the intersection of ancient history and theoretical biology, he can usually be found cultivating cold-hardy fruit trees or retreating to his air gapped study where he has been known to lock himself in for days. It is within this quiet, sanctuary—far removed from the academic mainstream—that he untangles the cosmic mysteries found in The Siderial Cipher.
Latest Short Story
When a disgraced linguist unearths an impossible alloy in pre-Ice Age strata, he and a rogue mathematician trigger a global awakening that rewrites human history.
What begins as a rhythmic pulse in an ancient artifact becomes proof of a planetary shield grid, encrypted DNA archives, and an artificial Moon engineered to cradle intelligent life.
Hunted by a fanatical order that views the “Sky Gods” as demons, Elias Thorne and Lena Voss race across submerged ruins, hidden chambers beneath the Sphinx, and frozen Antarctic vaults to activate the final nodes.
But the greatest choice remains: broadcast the All Clear to the returning fleet… or destroy the beacon before humanity is judged a failed experiment.
Blending hard science fiction with archaeological mystery, The Siderial Cipher delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that dares to ask: What if the gods of myth were bio-engineers who left the door open—and we finally found the key?
Some truths are too big for academia. Some doors were never meant to stay closed.

— an epic tale of ancient secrets, alien intervention, and the unbreakable power of human choice.

— a thrilling story of ancient secrets, alien intervention, and the unbreakable power of human choice.

Star Trek: Legacy
Pilot Episode:
"The Weight of the Name"
A Script Written By: Max Scribendi
Months after the rechristening of the USS *Titan*-A as the USS *Enterprise*-G, Captain Seven of Nine leads her crew on a shakedown mission that forces them to confront the crushing expectations of the most famous name in Starfleet history — while an ancient anomaly weaponizes their deepest regrets and inherited traumas against them.
------------------------------------------------->
What is Legacy?
The nebula was only the beginning. Something older and far more dangerous has noticed the Federation’s new flagship — and it specializes in weaponizing the very concept of *legacy*.
This pilot establishes the core ensemble, the ship’s identity, the Shaw hologram as recurring comic relief/heart, the Seven/Raffi/Jack triangle of command vs. family, and the show’s central question: *What does it mean to inherit greatness when you were never meant to survive long enough to claim it?*
It is unmistakably *Picard* in tone — quiet, devastating, hopeful, and deeply human — while launching a bold new chapter for the 25th century.
