Tucker Carlson is launching his own book imprint called Tucker Carlson Books with Skyhorse Publishing, according to major media reports. According to The Independent - Main, Tucker Carlson described the imprint as seeking books that 'nobody else will publish'. Skyhorse publisher Tony Lyons said Carlson's imprint would provide a platform to things that would often be shut down or censored, and that his publishing house offers 'free speech' works that other companies wouldn't publish, according to major media reports.
Titles slated for release under Tucker Carlson's imprint include Russell Brand's upcoming book 'How To Become a Christian In Seven Days' and Milo Yiannopoulos's book 'Ex Gay', according to major media reports. K. on rape and sexual assault charges, which he denies, and six women have made complaints against him regarding alleged incidents between 1999 and 2009, according to major media reports.
Tony will publish any book as long as it has inherent value. If it's saying something interesting, if it's well argued, if it's got relevant facts, if it's nicely written. He's just looking for books that nobody else will publish.
Milo Yiannopoulos resigned from Breitbart News in 2017 after footage resurfaced where he appeared to condone sexual relationships between men and underage boys, and he apologized at the time and said he had been a victim of sexual abuse; he was permanently banned from Facebook and Twitter in 2019 for breaking hate speech rules, according to major media reports. Since Carlson was fired from Fox News in 2023, he has gone on to launch his own digital media company, and he has hosted highly controversial guests on his streaming show, including white nationalist Nick Fuentes, according to major media reports. In recent weeks, Carlson became one of several MAGA acolytes who have split from President Donald Trump over the ongoing conflict in Iran, and President Donald Trump described Tucker Carlson and others as having 'Low IQs', according to major media reports.
Other authors published under Skyhorse include Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, first lady Melania Trump, and Woody Allen, according to major media reports. The exact launch date for Tucker Carlson Books, the number of books planned for the initial release, and specific sales or distribution plans remain unknown.

Books always stand on their own. We're not trying to be a judge or a jury. We're trying to publish books that show openness to ideas, that don't shame people or punish dissent and encourage debate.
