Can Fiction Help Us Thrive?
THRIVE Publishing is our new endeavor exploring that very question.
We believe that narratives have the power to reshape our understanding of what’s possible. Where data and arguments might fall short, a well-told story can connect with people on a personal level, sparking the kind of reflection that drives meaningful change.
At THRIVE Publishing, we believe that fiction can be a tool to help us envision a future where we survive and thrive.
“We are the storytelling ape, and we are incredibly good at it.”
Terry Pratchett, The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

The Jacksons’ Debate
Our debut publication, The Jacksons’ Debate, offers a thought-provoking exploration of interspecies ethics and thrivability.
In this story, an advanced alien race, the Jacksons, face a profound dilemma: Should they consume humans for survival, or uphold the ethical principles they pride themselves on? This novella challenges readers to reflect on broader ethical questions of sentience, cultural bias, and our impact on the planet.
Through humor, The Jacksons’ Debate inspires critical thinking and offers a fresh perspective on our values and biases.
A visionary novel, The Jacksons’ Debate challenges how we perceive and treat other species. Through the eyes of an alien civilisation, this bold narrative compels readers to question ingrained beliefs about animal rights and ethical coexistence. Neves masterfully blends fiction with advocacy, using storytelling to spark meaningful conversations and inspire change.
For those passionate about animal rights and transformative literature, this is a must-read! An eye-opening book that paves the way for a fairer world for animals.
Dr Sabine Brels, Founding Director of World Animal Justice
