The Imprint
Guiding Mortals is a publishing imprint. We publish books about the things that matter most and change fastest: how we raise children, how we learn, how we work. Every book is written for people who want honest answers — not hype, not panic, not reassurance.
"Every page earns its place — or it gets cut."

Learn more →Yes, we're aware of what the name implies. A publishing house called Guiding Mortals, dispensing wisdom from on high. We chose it anyway — partly because the irony keeps us honest, and partly because the books are meant to be useful, not authoritative. If they guide, it's because they earned it. If they don't, that's on us.*
