§ 01 — Our Mission

A press, plainly stated.

Black Cat Media Press was started because there were books that needed to be written and nobody wanted to be told how to write them.

§ 02 — Debut Title

Available soon.

Neurodiverse Hackers — Why Unconventional Minds Excel in Cybersecurity
Pub. Soon Format Paper · eBook Status In progress

Neurodiverse Hackers:
Why Unconventional Minds Excel in Cybersecurity

A book about pattern recognition, hyperfocus, lateral thinking, and the lived reality of building a career in cybersecurity with a brain that is unconventional. Part memoir, part field guide, part argument for the industry to rethink who it lets in the door.

"The traits that get you flagged everywhere else in life are the ones that get you hired in this field. I just had to spend twenty years figuring that out the hard way."

The Self-Hosted AI Bible

A field manual for running your own infrastructure.

For practitioners who would rather run their AI than rent it. Local inference, retrieval, agents, and the GPU infrastructure to host them — the whole stack, demystified and on hardware you control. A guide for the people quietly building outside the API economy.

Target: 2027

Submissions, eventually.

For now, a founder's imprint.

Black Cat Media Press is currently focused on its founding titles. We expect to open to outside authors once the first two books are in the world. If you're working on something nobody else will publish, keep our address.

§ 04 — About

A small press, deliberately so.

Black Cat Media Press is a small, independent imprint. We publish with intent, edit carefully, and only release books we believe are worth your time.

No outside submissions yet. No marketing department. Just books, made well, on their own schedule.
