Media House of Curtis
Stories Worth Keeping
An independent publishing house for literary and creative works, and the authors who deserve to be read.
The Books
Written by Curtis
Each title is a world built from the inside out — language pressed into form, meaning made permanent.
Poetry collection I·2022
Burnt Matches Vol. 1
The debut collection. Raw, unflinching, and precise — the work that started it all. Each signed copy is a direct line between the author and the reader.
Poetry collection II·2023
Scattered Hallways
The second collection. Where Burnt Matches burned, Scattered Hallways wanders — through memory, through doorways, through the spaces between.
Poems on Polaroids
Visual Poetry. Collectible Fine Art.
To frame emotion.
Poems on Polaroids transforms original poetry into collectible fine art. Every piece is individually created by Curtis and intentionally unrevealed until it reaches its collector. Rather than selecting a specific poem, collectors experience the work for the first time upon arrival—making every piece a personal encounter with the art.
Every piece is individually created, signed, professionally framed, and released in extremely limited quantities by Curtis.

Publishing Services
We work with a small number of authors each year. Our process is deliberate, our standards are high, and our commitment to the work is absolute.
Editorial Development
Manuscript assessment, structural editing, and line editing. We work with your voice, not against it — sharpening what is already there.
Design & Production
Book design, typesetting, and print production to the standard of the finest independent presses. Every page considered.
Distribution & Placement
Positioning your work with the right booksellers, reviewers, and readers. We do not believe in publishing into a void.
Curtis does not simply publish books. She builds the kind of objects that people keep, pass down, and return to.
