When independent fantasy publishing meets social advocacy, something extraordinary happens. Bricker Publishing LLC is charting a unique path in the indie publishing world, combining immersive fantasy storytelling with awareness for DiGeorge syndrome, a rare genetic condition affecting chromosome 22.
Building Worlds, Breaking Barriers
The publishing house’s debut title, “Elementals of Mythicos, Book 1: Forged in Fire,” launched October 3rd, 2025, marks the beginning of an ambitious fantasy series. But what sets this venture apart isn’t just its magical worlds and dragon-filled adventures – it’s the underlying mission to raise awareness about 22q11.2 deletion syndrome while crafting stories that resonate with readers’ humanity.
For fantasy enthusiasts seeking new worlds to explore, magical adventure series offers a fresh perspective. The stories aim to captivate readers who crave immersion in alternate realms while weaving in themes of personal empowerment and body awareness.
Expanding Beyond Traditional Boundaries
The publisher’s vision extends to releasing the Elementals of Mythicos tetralogy, but focusing on books 2: “Ways of the Wind” and 3: “Heart of Iron.” as long as editing and writing stays on track within the next three years. In an innovative move to engage younger readers, a children’s book starring Lemon, an orange cat exploring Havenswood with her animal friends, is also in development.
Taking fan engagement to the next level, Bricker Publishing is preparing to expand into merchandise. These items will hopefully be at, but no guarantees the Happily Indie After Ohio 2026 – Sharonville Convention Center. Starting with plush versions of beloved characters Lemon and Zeta, this expansion represents a creative approach to building a connection with readers.
A Mission Beyond Stories
At its core, Bricker Publishing LLC represents a new breed of independent publisher – one that combines storytelling with social purpose. Through their fantasy book series and advocacy, they’re working to create understanding about DiGeorge syndrome while emphasizing the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare.
This dual mission of entertainment and education demonstrates how modern independent publishing can serve multiple purposes: providing escape through fantasy while promoting awareness of real-world issues. It’s an approach that could inspire other independent publishers to consider how their stories might serve broader social goals.
As the publishing house moves forward with its ambitious three-year plan, it stands as an example of how independent publishing continues to evolve, finding new ways to connect with readers while making a meaningful impact in the world beyond its pages.
