ARKTIK
Press
ARKTIK Press is the publishing and media arm of ARKTIK—a house for books, curriculum, and media that take education, justice, and household stability seriously.
We are:
Faith-informed and Abrahamic-aware – we do not participate in campaigns that directly contradict what Torah, the Bible, and the wider Abrahamic canon have historically called right and wrong.
Whole-ladder, not class-war – we publish work that raises the floor without attacking the ceiling, and that expects active, disciplined effort from households, institutions, and donors alike.
Practice-driven – authors and projects are selected for what they build and test in the real world, not just what they can say about it.
ARKTIK Press develops:
Books and storyworlds,
Curriculum and companion texts,
Speaking, workshops, and media formats,
all aligned with reconciled, documented, 90-day movement in the real world.
A Publishing House for Reconciled Systems
Publishing Lanes
Education & Household Stability
K–12 aligned curriculum and companion texts,
Guides for households, microschools, and front-line staff,
Tools for building earned, documented rise at the floor.
Justice & Reintegration
Work that faces courts, CPS, shelters, and reentry honestly,
Tracks that reconcile accountability and mercy,
Frameworks systems can deploy without drifting into ideology wars.
Storyworlds & Narrative Nonfiction
Faith-informed fiction and narrative non-fiction that expose how power, risk, and responsibility really work,
Story ecosystems (like SYNTHETICA) that double as blueprints for policy, program, and household design.
Flagship IP – SYNTHETICA and the OFF MAP Storyworld
ARKTIK Press launched with SYNTHETICA, a faith-informed techno-thriller and storyworld by J. Michael F. Morris. The OFF MAP cycle functions as:
A gripping narrative,
A blueprint for future-ready education, justice, and household stability,
A shared universe that other ARKTIK Press titles and curricula can plug into.
As the Press grows, SYNTHETICA remains a flagship—not the only voice. Other authors and teams are invited into the house where their work strengthens, tests, or extends this reconciled, whole-ladder vision.
Authors & Voices
ARKTIK Press is built as a house, not a personal brand wrapper.
We:
Develop house authors (including J. Michael F. Morris as founding author),
Partner with educators, chaplains, practitioners, and researchers whose work aligns with our standards,
Support co-branded projects with organizations that operate in education, justice, or stability.
Core expectations of any ARKTIK Press author:
Respect for the historic rights and wrongs preserved in the Abrahamic scriptures,
A reconciliatory stance toward both floor and ceiling,
A commitment to practical, documented application—not just commentary.
Speaking & Workshops (Offered Through ARKTIK Press)
ARKTIK Press also manages speaking and workshops tied to its titles and frameworks.
Current flagship speaker:
J. Michael F. Morris – Founder & CEO of ARKTIK Education and ARKTIK Press, and author of SYNTHETICA.
As the house grows, other authors and practitioners may be added to the speaking roster.
Formats include:
Keynotes (30–60 minutes),
Closed-door briefings (60–90 minutes),
Workshops (2–4 hours).
All are framed to:
Raise the floor without lowering the ceiling,
Require active work from households, institutions, and donors,
Stay within the moral lines of the Abrahamic tradition while remaining nonpartisan.
Media – ARKTIK Ledger Live & Future Series
Through ARKTIK Press, we produce media that keeps the work moving:
ARKTIK Ledger Live – operator-focused segments on education, justice, and household stability, often hosted by J. Michael F. Morris and occasionally featuring other ARKTIK Press authors.
Short-form clips and series – designed for families, microschools, systems, and sponsors who want clear, reconciliatory thinking in doses they can actually use.
As additional authors and projects come online, ARKTIK Press will launch shows and segments that fit their expertise and the house standards.
How ARKTIK Press Supports ARKTIK Education
ARKTIK Press exists to strengthen ARKTIK Education and any aligned ministries or partners by:
Anchoring curriculum and programs in coherent, Abrahamic-aligned ideas,
Providing tested narratives, frameworks, and case studies,
Generating speaking, workshop, and media revenue that can be reinvested into education and stability work at the floor.
The house is deliberately nonpartisan, avoids “rich vs poor” theatre, and refuses to participate in projects that require us to deny what the Abrahamic scriptures have historically called right and wrong.
