What is Yuni?

The name Yuni blends Y for yellow and uni for unique… a nod to the rare Yellow Penguin and the beauty of standing out. We believe stories that shine brightest are the ones that celebrate individuality… the ones that refuse to blend in.

At Yuni Press, we champion storytellers whose voices reflect strength, resilience, and self-discovery in all their unique forms.

Because unforgettable stories are the ones that stand out.
