A publisher of literary fiction and global affairs. Nortia Press (nor-TEE-ah) is a boutique publisher based in Orange County, California. We focus on literary fiction and nonfiction with a global affairs bent. Our catalog is handpicked and nurtured from inception to provide readers, booksellers and libraries with a select list of timely and engaging titles. What Inspired Us We built Nortia Press because we believe that small publishers are the future of this industry. Small is better because it means being nimble and responsive, and most of all because it allows a press such as ours to forge close creative partnerships with our authors in the spirit of the writer-editor relationships that were once the norm. Our Catalog The criteria we use to select our books is straightforward. For fiction, we adopt titles of high literary merit that open our eyes to some part of the world, time in history, or profound social issue. For nonfiction, we embrace those books whose unique analytical vantage point help us rethink some issue of global consequence. We hope you enjoy our selection.
