Cantata Books, Inc. is all about having a good time, and learning some neat stuff in the process. We publish how-to books for smart and sassy readers who aren’t bound by conventions.
If you are one of those who just never understood why the town folk were afraid to yell, “THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!!!!” you’re at home with Cantata.
We do our best to tell it like it is, creating books that redefine their genre. We actively seek exciting and sometimes edgy topics and new takes on more established ones.

Come back again and again to check in and find out what’s up with Cantata. We’ll look for you!
