Who We Are

"We believe a great book is a kind of warmth — something you return to when the world feels cold. That's the feeling we publish."

Founded by editors, designers, and readers, Warm Socks Media is a small press with big taste. We publish a handful of titles each season and give every one the care it deserves — from developmental editing to typeset pages you'll want to hold.

Editor-Led

Every author works directly with a senior editor from acquisition to launch.

Design Obsessed

Custom covers and interiors crafted in-house for books that feel like objects.

Fair & Transparent

Author-first contracts with royalties and rights that respect the writer.

Globally Minded

Distribution across trade, indie, and digital in twelve countries and counting.

Selected Works

From our shelf to yours

What We Do

Books & stories, beautifully made

Beyond the page, we're a full storytelling studio — pairing our boutique publishing with commercial video production for brands, authors, and creators.

01

Acquisition & Editing

Every submission is read in full by a senior editor. Once we acquire a book, we work chapter by chapter through developmental, line, and copy editing — shaping structure, pacing, and voice while keeping the writer close at every stage.

02

Design & Production

Original cover art and considered typography, crafted in-house for both print and digital. We treat every book as an object worth holding, with premium paper, binding, and finishes chosen to suit the story.

03

Launch & Distribution

Publicity, launch events, and global distribution across trade, indie, and digital channels. We build a tailored campaign for each title and place it in the right hands, in the right markets, worldwide.

04

Commercial Video Production

Cinematic book trailers, author films, and branded commercial video — scripted, shot, and edited by our in-house production team for authors, publishers, and brands who want to tell their story on screen.

Submissions Open
