For the books written in the dark — in the still, unhurried hour before the world wakes.
Before the Alarm makes warm, carefully built books — fiction, children’s books, and nonfiction alike — a handful each year, from first draft to final binding.
We take on only what we can champion completely. Every title gets our full attention — editorial, design, and the long work of finding its readers.
Warm, well-crafted, and made to last — the kind of book you keep on the shelf and return to, not the kind you finish and forget.
A book should feel like something. We design each edition to be held, shelved, lent, and returned to years after the first reading.
Warm, beautifully made books worth waking up for. Here’s what’s on the list.
We read submissions in two windows each year. We welcome debut and established authors alike — what matters is the work.
