About Random X
Built in Fresno. Made for readers everywhere.
Founded in 2024 and based in California's Central Valley, Random X Publishing was built on a simple belief: every great manuscript deserves a publisher who reads it closely, edits it honestly, designs it beautifully, and gets it into readers' hands.
Read our story"Working with Random X felt like having a true editorial partner. They made my book better — and got it to readers I never could have reached alone."
