Running Wild, LLC has generated buzz in the publishing world with its announcement of the forthcoming 2023 catalogs for Running Wild Press and RIZE Press. These catalogs showcase remarkable tales that defy categorization and pioneering works within various genres crafted by authors from marginalized communities such as people of color. The publications have earned multiple accolades and have even been included in gift bags for nominees of the prestigious Grammy Awards.
One of the highlights of these catalogs is a stellar novel by the charismatic Lachi, a member of the Grammy board and enigmatic speaker.

Alongside Lachi’s novel, RIZE Press’s lineup includes Shay Galloway’s trailblazing book, The Valley of Sage and Juniper, which has garnered critical acclaim from Foreword Reviews and Kirkus Reviews. Described as a “riveting tale of impressive siblings battling oppression,” this work has been hailed as a “reinvention of traditional Western sagas” and is poised to capture the hearts of readers.
Lisa Kastner established Running Wild, LLC, and has received recognition for her achievements, having been named to several “Best of” lists and profiled in notable publications, including Forbes. Kastner’s conviction that stories possess the power to effect change fueled her founding of Running Wild & RIZE, an enterprise dedicated to promoting exceptional works by relatively unknown authors whose remarkable stories might otherwise go unnoticed by major publishing companies.
“Our target audience is anyone who loves a great story, no matter the genre, and who loves finding great groundbreaking works,” Kastner says. “We are filling the gap in the acquisition models, and helping authors elevate their stories so that fans get the absolute best groundbreaking stories.”
Running Wild, LLC’s 2023 catalogs promise to be a resounding success, captivating readers who appreciate boundary-pushing narratives that defy conventional genre categories. Whether you’re drawn to Lachi’s music or seek a new perspective on the traditional Western saga, these catalogs offer an array of options to suit every taste.
