Here in the Rabbit Room we love books. We love the smell of them. We love the texture of good paper. We love the way a well-designed book draws you into a story before you’ve read a word of it. We love to put a beloved tome on the bookshelf where, among its many neighbors, it becomes part of a literary DNA that defines us, tells the world who we are merely by the shape of the stories we’ve loved. And most of all, we love the worlds, ideas, adventures, and discoveries that the opening of a book reveals.
Once the Rabbit Room itself took root and began to grow, it didn’t take long for the idea of the Rabbit Room Press to form. We first put the theory to the test in early 2009 with Eric Peter’s epic space adventure The Revenge of the Birds and followed it up later that year with our first official title, A. S. Peterson’s Revolutionary War tale, The Fiddler’s Gun. In May of 2011 we proudly published our most recent title, The Monster in the Hollows, the third book in Andrew Peterson’s acclaimed Christy-Award winning Wingfeather Saga.
Rabbit Room Press is not currently accepting submissions.

How to Make a Record, Part 1: First Things First
This post should really be called, “How We Make a Record”, or even “How We’re Making This Record”. There are a thousand ways to skin a cat, or to write a song, or to make a chocolate chip cookie–this just happens to be our recipe. That said, in some ways I’m still as mystified by it as I ever was.
I remember lying on my bed in high school with two cabinet speakers on either side of my head, listening to Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason, getting delightfully lost in the music and wondering how on earth this band of Brits transferred their music to two-inch tape, then to cassette, then to the record store, then to Lake Butler, Florida, to my speakers, to my ears, and finally to my adolescent noggin.
What is Love? Part I – Definitions
The world has a lot of definitions for love. Deep affection, fondness, tenderness, warmth, intimacy, attachment, endearment; devotion, adoration, doting, idolization, worship; passion, ardor, desire, lust, yearning, infatuation. Compassion, caring, concern, friendliness, friendship, kindness, charity, goodwill, sympathy, kindliness, altruism, unselfishness, philanthropy, benevolence.
When I see the Jesus of the Gospels, I see the best of these definitions displayed, his deep affection for John, the tenderness toward Peter after his denial. I see his compassion and goodwill poured into the woman in John 8, and that little man Zacchaeus. I also see his anger toward the Pharisees, a love for sinners turned upon the self-righteous weapons of comparison and self-vaunting used to destroy lives.
