Orange Hat Publishing

Orange Hat is an indie publishing house dedicated to helping all authors take their best next step in publishing.

This is our mission: to amplify the voices of talented emerging authors and provide a launchpad for those seeking to catalyze positive impact in their communities through the written word. We love working alongside ordinary people with extraordinary vision. We're all about the go-getters on a mission to positively impact readers through education, inspiration, compassion, empathy, and genuine care

for humanity. We're all about stories that captivate, challenge the status quo, and boldly own their authentic voice. Finally, we're all about providing authors the space they need to nurture their book into the best version it can be. We hope you, as an author, can find a home here and that Orange Hat can be a place of growth and encouragement as you work toward authorship and impact.

Give a great big hello and a follow to Samantha Hoffman! Not only is Samantha publishing her book The Laundry Room with us (coming this fall!), she's also a key figure with the Chicago Writers Association and their big conference coming up in June! So follow her, register for that conference, and ... and ... there has to be a third thing, right? How about Keep Reading! That's always good advice.
