Harbor & Ink Press is an independent publishing house led by creative director Michelle Ward, creating smart, beautifully designed books that entertain, challenge, educate and inspire readers around the world.

With a growing catalogue of more than 200 published titles, Harbor & Ink Press publishes across a diverse range of genres, including immersive murder mystery and puzzle books, bestselling cookbooks, children's adventures and nonfiction, guided journals, personal finance, psychology and professional guides.

Harbor & Ink Press is home to a growing collection of authors, brands and original series, including One Name Remains, Black Tie Murders, Daisy's Detective Agency and Rex Ryder, alongside books from Rob Maxwell, Dr. Claire Ashton, Tessa Bloom, Michelle McKay and others.

At the heart of every Harbor & Ink book is a simple idea: give the reader an experience worth remembering.

That might mean eliminating suspects from a list of 50,000 names to uncover a killer, solving a mystery at a grand country estate, helping a child become confident in the kitchen, exploring extraordinary true stories, or simply finding a reason to put down a screen and pick up a book.

With readers across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and beyond, Harbor & Ink Press combines strong concepts, premium design and commercially driven publishing to create distinctive, giftable books designed to stand out both online and on the shelf.

Smart. Beautiful. Books You'll Love to Give.
