About Nathaniel Haselton

Nathaniel Haselton is an independent author, music producer, and the founder of Haselton Media Group — a multimedia publishing house he built from the ground up starting in 2008. What began as a self-publishing venture born out of his work as a musician has grown into a catalog spanning more than 200 books and 934 original music tracks distributed across every major streaming platform worldwide.

Haselton writes across a broad range of genres — horror and thriller fiction under the pen name J.T. Marrow, science fiction, historical nonfiction, true crime, self-help, and more. His catalog includes bestselling titles such as Top 10 Lost Civilizations: Who Were They and Where Did They Go? (5,161 copies sold), which established Haselton Media Group as a serious independent publisher in the nonfiction space. His fiction work includes novels published under multiple pen names, each developed with its own distinct voice and readership.

On the music side, Haselton produces and releases beats and instrumental tracks under the Haselton Media Group banner and under the artist name Frizzo. His most-streamed track, West Coast Chill, has accumulated over 93,000 streams. His SoundCloud catalog at soundcloud.com/haseltonmediagroup houses 94 tracks with a total stream count exceeding 180,000.

Publishing Philosophy

Haselton built Haselton Media Group on a single premise: independent creators should own their work and control how it reaches the world. Every book in the catalog is owned outright by the company. Every track is self-produced, self-released, and self-distributed. No gatekeepers, no label deals, no traditional publishing advances exchanged for rights.

That independence shapes everything — from how the catalog is managed to how individual titles are priced, marketed, and updated. It also means Haselton Media Group can publish at a pace and across a breadth of subject matter that traditional publishing structures don’t allow.
