About Lighthouse Island

Independent Publishing With Purpose

Lighthouse Island is an independent imprint founded to publish stories that matter. We believe that honest, human accounts of real experience have the power to help others face their own defining moments. We don't dress up difficulty or offer easy answers. We publish the truth of what it actually takes.

Who We Are

A Small Imprint With a Clear Purpose

Lighthouse Island was founded by Martyn Dipper, a martial artist from Wiltshire who faced a T4 throat cancer diagnosis in 2021. The imprint grew from his experience of finding very little that told the truth about what serious illness actually feels like from the inside. Unmasked is the first book we have published. It will not be the last.

Our Debut Title

Unmasked: Cancer, a Clinical Trial, and the Mindset That Got Me Through It is available now in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.
