OUR INAUGURAL NOVEL
Join the Journey of Discovery and Transformation
Starlite Street Press publishes novels that explore the lives of artists and creative visionaries, as they pursue their ambitions, love, and reinvention.
Our inaugural novel, In the Trembling Heart by John Mitchell Morris, arrives June 16, 2026, and follows struggling actor Porter Benjamin, a Texas-native whose life is forever changed after a chance encounter with a once-celebrated playwright in early 2000s Los Angeles. A timeless story about loss, art, and redemption, this reimagining of A Star Is Born captures the turbulence of the artist’s journey at the dawn of the twenty-first century and the transformative power of love on the search for self-discovery and acceptance.
