About Us
Mystery Puzzle Books. Kids Adventures. Cookbooks. Books People Actually Give.
Harbor & Ink Press is an independent publishing house built around one obsession: making books people reach for by name.
We publish murder mystery puzzle books that adults can't put down, adventure and fact series that kids race through, cookbooks that actually get used, and financial literacy titles that make complex ideas click.
Over 1,000 copies sold every month, across a catalog of 200+ titles — all conceived, designed, and published in-house.
Every book we make is built to do two things: give readers something genuinely worth their time, and make the person who gave it look like they really know their audience.
Our Mission
At Harbor & Ink Press, we publish books that earn their place on the shelf.
That means our murder mystery puzzle series delivers real cases, real logic, and a genuine challenge — not a thin activity book dressed up as a mystery.
It means our Rex Ryder kids' adventure books are packed with facts so gripping that reluctant readers forget they're reading. It means our teen cookbooks are actually designed for kitchens where the adult is supervising from a distance.
We don't chase trends. We build series — books that readers finish and immediately want the next one.
Why Harbor
Our name comes from a belief about what books are for.
A harbor is where you go when you want to be somewhere safe, interesting, and fully present. Ink is what made that possible for thousands of years before screens arrived. Together they stand for what we think every book should be: somewhere worth going.
At Harbor & Ink Press, we're building a catalog you can reach for again — whether you're finding the next book in a series, looking for the right gift, or browsing for something you didn't know you wanted yet.
What We Publish
Our catalogue spans a diverse range of genres and audiences, reflecting our belief that learning and laughter should coexist beautifully.
Children’s Books & Fact Collections: Fun, educational titles that make learning exciting and screen-free.
Puzzle & Activity Books: Creative challenges that build confidence and curiosity.
Cookbooks & Lifestyle Titles: Smart, accessible guides that celebrate flavor, joy, and creativity.
Guided Journals & Wellness Books: Thoughtful, inspiring tools for emotional growth, mindfulness, and resilience.
Humor & Gift Books: Lighthearted titles designed to make people smile, laugh, and connect
Our Promise
Every Harbor & Ink title goes through the same production standard: professional design, careful editing, and a format that holds up in the real world.
Quality: Designed and edited to the standard of books you'd find at any major bookstore — because that's what readers expect when they pay for a book.
Originality: We build original series. You won't find the same concept twice across our catalog.
Gift-worthiness: We design every cover and every interior with the gift-giver in mind. If you're searching for something genuinely good to give — a puzzle book for a mystery fan, a cooking starter for a teen, a fact series for a kid who says they don't like reading — you'll find it here.
