Pariah Publishing, LLC is the publisher of The Incredible Origins of the Onyx Sun.

The company has seven years experience finding, developing, and publishing new voices in fiction, especially among talented authors who find it difficult to publish their first book just because they haven't before.

From March 2005 until October 2005, Pariah Publishing ran a merit-based contest called the One Chapter Writing Contest. The purpose of this event was to highlight new writing talent within the constraints of a single chapter of a previously unpublished manuscript. The Grand Prize was $100. The following is a list of the winners.
