Disrupting Literature. Amplifying Evolution.
DLAE Publishing LLC is a culturally-driven, forward-thinking independent publishing house dedicated to elevating underrepresented voices and genre-defiant stories. We specialize in urban fiction, memoirs, urban horror, cultural archives and children’s books that speak truth, challenge norms, and ignite evolution through literature.
Our brand merges street-smart storytelling with literary quality, bridging the gap between art and impact. Beyond books, DLAE is a culture — and that culture lives in our merchandise, our message, and our movement.
