About Dorado Books LLC
Dorado Books LLC
is an urban cultural home for storytelling.
This isn’t just a publishing company
—it’s a place
you come to sit down,
breathe,
and listen.
The kind of place
where stories
sound familiar
because they are familiar.
Like conversations you’ve overheard.
Like memories
you didn’t know you still carried.
Founded by
writer Reina Dorado,
Dorado Books
was built for people
who want stories told in a real voice
—the everyday voice.
The voice that lives in kitchens,
on front steps,
in the back seats of cars,
in late-night talks,
and quiet moments
when nobody’s pretending.
Founded By
Here,
we tell stories about:
-
Love that’s complicated
-
Desire that doesn’t ask permission
-
Motherhood, growth, mistakes, and becoming
The parts of life people don’t dress up for company
We don’t rush the truth.
We let it simmer.
Our Stories
Are All About
Dorado Books specializes in:
What We Publish
-
Contemporary fiction rooted in real-life emotion
-
Urban and literary storytelling with depth and consequence
-
Short stories that linger long after the last page
-
Series that explore love, lust, loss, and transformation
-
Voices that sound like real people—not characters trying to behave
Our stories
often explore
the spaces people avoid:
the unspoken,
the misunderstood,
and
the unobserved.
Our Philosophy
We don’t
believe
in writing safely.
We believe
in writing honestly.
We don’t
believe every story
needs
a happy ending.
But we do believe
every story
deserves meaning.
Dorado Books LLC
is an independent publishing house
created to tell stories
rooted in lived experience, emotional honesty, and unapologetic truth.
Founded by writer and storyteller Reina Dorado,
Dorado Books exists for narratives
that don’t fit neatly into boxes
—stories about love, desire,
motherhood, identity,
trauma, healing, and becoming.
These are not polished fantasies.
These are reflections, confessions, and revelations.
Every book published under Dorado Books
is written with intention:
to teach, to mirror, to challenge,
and to inspire growth through recognition.
We believe storytelling is sacred.
We believe truth is layered.
And we believe readers deserve work
that respects their intelligence and their emotions.
