ABOUT 83 PRESS
83 Press is built on the belief that every author deserves a true publishing partner—one who supports them from the first idea to a finished book in readers’ hands. We guide authors through every stage of the process, from vision and development to editing, production, marketing, sales, and distribution, with a focus on models that allow authors to profit meaningfully from their work.
With over 40 years of writing, publishing, marketing, and distribution experience to rely on, we use our ever-growing knowledge base and large network to serve our authors’ best interests.
We can get started now. Many publishers require new authors to sign on and then wait in line. We like to watch what’s trending and work with authors who speak to today’s audience. We move efficiently and strategically to get your books in readers’ hands as soon as possible.
83 Press is the book imprint of Hoffman Media, offering a better, more personal way to publish.

Our Specialties
Cookbooks
At 83 Press, we believe a cookbook should offer more than exceptional recipes—it should tell a story. Our team brings deep expertise in recipe development, testing, food styling, and photography, paired with thoughtful storytelling that helps readers connect with the heart behind the food. Whether you’re a chef, restaurateur, home cook, or heritage brand, we craft cookbooks that are visually stunning, authentic to your voice, and built for both giftability and long-term sales success. With a wide range of premium print finishes, formats, and binding options, we help you create a book that stands out on any shelf.
Lifestyle & Nonfiction
From memoir and personal narrative to home, garden, travel, entertaining, and faith-based titles, our editorial and creative teams are committed to capturing your story with clarity and emotional resonance. We frequently work one-on-one with authors—often on location—to ensure we fully understand their voice and vision. Our philosophy is simple: your story leads. We preserve your tone and personality, offering editorial support that elevates your message without ever overwriting it. While nonfiction is our core strength, we also welcome select fiction submissions.
Custom & Branded Publishing
For creators, companies, organizations, and institutions seeking a bespoke book, we offer full-service custom publishing from concept through production. This includes heritage brand books, culinary books, coffee-table collections, organizational histories, photographic portfolios, and specialty projects of every kind. Whether you’re a municipality documenting your legacy, a designer crafting a visual showcase, or a brand looking to create a high-impact marketing or revenue-generating book, our team builds each title from the ground up—tailored to your goals, audience, and aesthetic.
