About Crowned Catalyst press
Crowned Catalyst isn’t just a name.
It's a collection of what's been left behind.
You’ll find the mark woven into every book—on the spine, in the margins, tucked between the lines.
A quiet reminder of where it all started.
Where It Began
Crowned Catalyst Press was founded by Alynna Blake—the creator of a universe that began as a single idea and grew into a place where questions mattered more than answers, and the quiet parts of ourselves finally had somewhere to belong. She believes in metaphor more than credentials, world building instead of small talk, and stories that stay with you long after the last page.If you’re here, maybe you feel the same way.

The Archive is now open.
WHAT CAN I SUBMIT?
-
Anything you need to let go of.
Just write it. There is no wrong way to leave something behind.
This is not a crisis resource.
This is a space for reflection, not clinical or emergency support.
If you are in crisis or need immediate help, please contact a professional resource such as:
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US) — Call or text 988
Or find support through befrienders.org for international help.
You are not alone.
Not sure what to leave?
A mantra to get you through the day.A moment that felt like peace.A kindness you still think about.The first time you knew it was going to be okay.A sentence you never got to finish.A moment you wish someone had witnessed.Something you miss, but don’t talk about.The dumbest thing that ever made you cry.A sentence that lives in your head rent-free.
Hope belongs here, too.
Grief built the Archive—but joy will keep it alive.

Our Promise
What we hold. What we protect.
What We Will Hold:
We will hold the story you were never allowed to write. The part of you that no one else saw. We will hold queer voices, neurodivergent stories, fractured faith, and soft strength. We will hold questions that don’t have answers. Grief that doesn’t have an arc. The good. The almosts. The “I made it anyways.”What We Will Not Hold:
We will not hold hate in any form. We will not hold bigotry, harassment, racism, homophobia, or transphobia. We will not hold violence for violence’s sake. We will not hold anything that makes this space unsafe for others.Our Vow:
We will never sell your words. We will never use your email without permission. We will honor your silence as much as your spark. We will protect this space—for you, and for the next one who steps inside.If You’ve Ever Wondered:
Yes, you are enough to be here. No, you’re not too much. And yes, your words will be held with care.
