ABOUT THE PUBLISHER

Canadian Publisher | Fantasy & Mythology Books | Handmade Book Accessories | Fairytales & Fables | Bookish Gifts

I started my writing career at fourteen years old when I wrote my first novel Daughters of Disaster. I went on to publish it, (too early of course). I very quickly learned I don’t like others directing my creations. This truly shouldn’t have been a surprise to me in hindsight because I’ve always had a vision for my work. When I wrote my next novel, The Tale of Kore, a decade later, I knew I wanted to direct everything, even if it meant more work, even if it meant footing the venture myself. And so, Mythosmith Publishing was born. It’s a representation of my own beliefs–in history, in literature, and in myself. Of course, I cannot take all the credit. My then boyfriend, now fiance, Darien, truly pushed me to publish. I had been sitting on the manuscript for so long, but with his help and encouragement, I started my instagram account to truly try my hand at this. I launched my book at a local christmas market, and it was a triumph for me. I then did a slew of summer farmer’s markets, and decided to truly take the plunge. 

CUSTOM WORK

We have expanded from just ebooks and a small print run to multiple titles, special editions, handmade artisanal bookish supplies, and gifts. The special editions are done by Darien Powlan, and in partnership, we locally source our fabrics for booksleeves, dust jackets, bookmarks, and electronics covers (kindles, ipads, and even laptops.)

If you are interested in custom work, such as custom booksleeves, ipad covers, kindle covers, or laptop covers, please contact us in the form below with the dimensions of the device or book (L x W x H) and the model if known. As well, if you have a particular pattern in mind, please reference that as well! We get all of our fabric from Sugar Pine, a quilting store in Canmore, so any specific fabrics can very easily be obtained.

*Subject to availability. Some fabrics become discountinued. In the case of discontinued stock, the closest equivalent will be selected.

ABOUT US

  • Amanda L. Rautio

    Thanks for wandering into my corner of the internet. I’ve always been drawn to stories that survive time… myths, epics, scraps of poetry in second hand book margins. As a fantasy author, I write for readers who are curious, slightly haunted, and a little obsessed with the way stories shape the world. Everything you see here from books to bookmarks and bookshelves, is created with care for those who want more from their books: more meaning, more depth, and more magic.

  • Darien Powlan

    Hi, my name is Darien and I come from a background rooted in woodworking and traditional trades, where precision, artistry, and respect for quality materials shaped the way I create. Today, I bring those values into the world of textiles through Mythosmith. I source my fabrics and supplies locally and transform them into book-inspired pieces that reflect each reader’s personality and passion. Mythosmith marks a new chapter in my creative journey — a space where craftsmanship and imagination meet. Every item I make is created with intention, care, and the hope that it becomes a meaningful expression of who you are as a reader and a lover of handmade art. Thank you for being part of this story and supporting my craft.
