Don’t wait for the The Datura Press to roll…

We are a new, adventurous, and unapologetically fierce literary imprint, and the landscape is about to shift. Currently, our editorial engine is running white-hot with a slate of upcoming releases. For those who share our appetite for risk, the door is open. We are actively looking to collaborate with visionaries, creators, and quality partners who want to bring these worlds to life—whether on the page, the screen, or through cross-disciplinary art.

In our foundational character roster—Manton, Walker, and Narcisa—we are ushering in a volatile new breed of protagonist. These characters are deliberately blurry, existing entirely in the high-contrast tension between light and dark, but they are never grey. They are driven souls, forever on the lookout for the next danger to overcome, the next fight to pick, the next deep-buried secret to unearth, and the next locked door to kick open.

We hope what we are building here is not just a collection of books; we are constructing vivid, unique, and beautifully weird cinematic universes. These are worlds rich with atmosphere and narrative depth, specifically designed to scale and cross over with forward-thinking media companies, visual artists, and independent production houses who refuse to play it safe.

If you are a filmmaker, a gallery curator, a translation house, or a fellow creator who values artistic integrity over corporate safety, we want to hear from you. Let’s talk strategy, let's talk art, and let's build something that lasts.

Contact our desk via mail to initiate the dialogue. Or, if you find yourself wandering the historic stone streets of Italy, our main headquarters is nestled right in the beating heart of central Florence. Why not drop by, escape the Tuscan heat, join us for a proper espresso, and see what we’re plotting? Let's make something unforgettable. A presto.
