We publish stories that readers want to live inside — fiction that earns its place on the nightstand and the re-read shelf.
Cozy Nerd Publishing focuses on genre fiction in Science Fiction and Mystery. We publish gothic mystery, cozy mystery, and space-focused science fiction — stories written by authors who care deeply about their craft and their readers.
We believe the best genre fiction earns its place on the re-read shelf — books you finish and immediately want to press into someone else's hands. Our authors write stories full of texture and atmosphere, where the world feels lived-in and the characters feel real.
Whether you're looking for the quiet dread of a gothic house in the fog, the warmth of a cozy mystery with a satisfying puzzle at its center, or the wide-open possibilities of science fiction set among the stars — we've got a story for you.
Big questions asked in the only place they can breathe — the vast, wide-open distances of space. Stories that imagine what humanity could become.
Stories full of magic, mystery, and atmosphere. Puzzles with satisfying answers, worlds you want to return to, and characters who feel like friends.
Old houses with long memories, shadows that mean something, and a slow unease that builds into something you can't put down. Stories with a few shadows in them.
Three writers, three worlds, one publishing house.
