About Two Floors Press
Books for the distance between the life you built and the life you feel.
Two Floors Press is an independent imprint based in Cottonwood, Arizona, created to publish thoughtful, practical work about the stories that shape us and the choices that can change us.
OUR PURPOSE
Books that help people understand themselves without turning themselves into a problem to solve.
Two Floors Press exists for honest, practical work that looks beneath the life people can see. Books that make room for complexity, challenge the stories shaping our choices, and help readers move from recognition to action without shame or easy answers.
What guides the work
Truth without simplification
Change is rarely clean or linear. The work should be honest about setbacks, contradictions, and what growth actually asks of us.
Compassion without avoidance
We believe a book should help you see your life honestly, understand yourself without contempt, and choose what comes next with intention.
Insight that becomes action
Understanding why a pattern began does not mean excusing what it now costs. The work can hold both truths at once.
THE FIRST TITLE FROM TWO FLOORS PRESS
What If You Were Never Broken?
Marat Shkandin’s memoir-driven personal growth book explores how old stories quietly shape the choices that become a life, and how to begin choosing differently without denying what happened or punishing yourself for how you adapted.
Independent by design.
Human at the center.
