about the press

A small press for the far edges of ordinary.


✦

We publish for the curious, the ones who look twice, question the obvious, and occasionally wander a little farther than they intended. Some of our books explore the inner world. Others take the scenic route through entirely different ones.

Different paths. Same invitation: there’s always more to discover.

WHAT WE PUBLISH

Two shelves that belong together.

On one shelf, books that ask you to look inward. Dreams, awareness, energy, intuition and the quieter territories we carry with us, whether we notice them or not.

On the other, stories that take the long way around. Strange worlds, complicated choices, impossible situations, and the occasional alien wondering what on Earth we’re doing.

Different shelves. Same curiosity. What happens when you look a little closer?

why the waypoint press

Every journey needs a waypoint.

If you ever spent hours wandering through an old game world, you know the feeling.

The map stretched farther than you could see. Most of it was still unknown. And somewhere out there was a waypoint you hadn’t reached yet.

You couldn’t simply appear there.

First, you had to make the journey.

You followed the road. Took a few wrong turns. Discovered things you weren’t looking for. And eventually, somewhere between where you’d been and wherever you were going, you found it—a small light on the map.

A place to stop. To catch your bearings. To look back at the ground you’d covered and decide where you wanted to go next.

That’s what we believe a good book can be.

Not the destination. Not the final answer.

A waypoint.

Someone traveled a little farther into a question, an experience, or an imagined world and left something there for the next traveler to find.

You may stay awhile. You may leave with more questions than you brought. You may discover an entirely different road.

That’s rather the point.

Welcome to Waypoint Press.

You’ve found the marker. Where you go from here is yours. 

who we are

A family press.

Waypoint Press is a family-owned independent press created by Jody and Christopher Randall.

Jody Randall

Jody has spent most of her life asking questions that probably should have been left alone.

Dreams became dreamwork. Curiosity became books. And somewhere along the way, an alien wandered into the whole operation and began filing reports on humanity.

She writes about consciousness, complicated humans, strange worlds, and those peculiar moments when reality seems to have misplaced the instruction manual.

She also maintains that Johnny Rocket is not her fault. 

her books

Christopher Randall

Christopher is considerably more interested in what you experience than what you’re told you’re supposed to experience.

His work grew from years spent studying parapsychology, energy, awareness, and the strange territory between expectation and observation. His workbooks aren’t designed to hand you conclusions. They’re designed to help you slow down, pay attention, and discover what changes when you begin observing your own experience differently.

He writes the maps. You still have to walk the road.

how we publish

We do books a little differently.

Made for the Margins

Write in them. Question them. Date the moments that matter. Our workbooks are designed to become partly yours, and to read differently when you return to them months later.

Every Book gets it’s Premiere

Before page one, there’s Waypoint Visions. Every title receives an original cinematic trailer, because sometimes the best way into a story is to see its world flicker to life first. 

Start where Curiosity finds You

Our series connect, but they don’t hold the door hostage. If book three is the one that calls to you, begin there. Follow the whole road later—or don’t. It’s your journey.
