Where We Came From
Blue Box Press is rooted in a legacy of collaboration and innovative reader engagement. It was born from the same creative ecosystem as 1001 Dark Nights, a groundbreaking publishing project that connected readers with new favorite authors through compelling, world-expanding novellas.
As part of Evil Eye Concepts—whose programs have reached a multi-million-copy, worldwide readership—Blue Box Press was launched to bring that same high-touch, author-centered approach to a curated list of full-length novels. We carry forward the core principles of that legacy: curated discovery, premium storytelling, and lasting creative partnerships, now focused entirely on our expanding catalogue of impactful standalone works.
