About the Books

What kind of books do you publish?
We create richly illustrated art books that reimagine history with a visual storytelling twist — blending speculative ideas, alternate histories, and modern design.

Are these books suitable for kids?
While not specifically designed for children, our books are clean, visually engaging, and suitable for teens and older readers. They’re best appreciated by readers who enjoy alternate histories, world-building, and visual humor.

Does Epic Foundry Press only publish Viking humor?
No. We primarily publish fully illustrated alternate-history art books, as well as the Epic Moments in History humor series.

What formats are available?
Premium Paperback (8" × 10") — a higher-quality trade paperback with upgraded paper stock. This format debuts with the Viking humor books and is available worldwide through major retailers.

Deluxe Paperback (Crown Quarto, 7.44" × 9.69") — a series format released in the fall, distributed through Amazon and other online booksellers.

Premium Hardcover (8.5" × 11") — a larger, display-ready edition, offered exclusively through select retailers.

Will digital editions be available?
No, our books are designed as richly illustrated print editions. We believe the reading experience is best enjoyed in its physical format, and we don’t offer digital versions at this time.

Will there be more books in the future?
Yes. Seven titles are already available on Amazon, and two deluxe large-format editions (The Roman Empire Above and Silicon Valley Reimagined) will follow soon through with select retailers.

Behind the Scenes

Who is Joseph Fortune?
Joseph Fortune is the collective creative signature of Epic Foundry Press — a name we use to honor the shared lineage of imagination that fuels every illustrated world we publish. Rather than a single author, Joseph Fortune represents countless human creators whose art, ideas, and curiosity live on through modern generative tools. At Epic Foundry Press, we utilize AI as a creative partner — a means to prototype, iterate, and visualize ideas at a pace that is uncommon in traditional publishing. Every book credited to Joseph Fortune reflects a collaboration between people, technology, and the timeless drive to ask “what if?”

Why do all Epic Foundry Press books use one pen name?
Using a single identity unifies our catalog under one creative umbrella. It allows us to explore wildly different worlds and tones while keeping every book instantly recognizable as part of the same imaginative lineage.

Is Joseph Fortune an AI?
No. Joseph Fortune is a publishing identity — not an algorithm. The name symbolizes the partnership between human creativity and modern tools. Every book begins with human vision, storytelling, and design; generative technology helps us bring those ideas to life more quickly and vividly.

Are your books made with AI?
Yes — we use AI tools like ChatGPT and MidJourney as creative partners to rapidly prototype, visualize, and develop our stories. Every word, image, and layout is reviewed and refined by a human. Each concept, world, and visual style is carefully shaped through hands-on creative direction, guided by human imagination and intentional design from start to finish.

Who creates the artwork and writing?
The images and text are generated using AI tools like MidJourney and ChatGPT, guided by Epic Foundry Press, which acts as art director, editor, and final decision-maker. Every visual and story is shaped through a hands-on creative process, with AI acting as a collaborator, not the author.

Why did you start Epic Foundry Press?
Epic Foundry Press was founded to explore bold “what if” ideas — alternate histories, imagined technologies, and speculative worlds — through a design-first, modern publishing approach. We use 21st-century creative tools to craft high-quality books independently, outside the limits of traditional publishing.
