The thread

Our names come from somewhere. The books go everywhere.

Misti Media is inspired by the wonders of Peru—not because every book is about Peru, but because those wonders give the house its bearings: scale, atmosphere, curiosity, and a respect for stories that stay with you.

We publish across genres and work with authors from everywhere. The names are a thread, not a boundary.

Misti Media

The landmark

Misti is the perfect cone watching over Arequipa. For our nonfiction list, it is a reminder to find the solid ground: the source you can trust, the line you can navigate by.

White City Press

The intrigue

Arequipa’s White City is built from pale sillar volcanic stone, with layers of history in every street. White City Press carries that atmosphere into mystery and crime: sharp questions, buried motives, no easy exits.

Miraflores Nights — a neon couple, shoreline, skyline, car, and rose inside a circular mark with the Miraflores Nights wordmark

Miraflores Nights

The after-dark glow

Miraflores runs along the shoreline, all cliffs, ocean air, and city lights after dark. Miraflores Nights brings that charge to romance and erotica—stories with heat, feeling, and a little voltage.

Nazca Press

The bigger pattern

The Nazca lines turn the desert into a page written at a scale no single reader can take in. Nazca Press follows that instinct into science fiction, fantasy, and horror: stranger maps, wider worlds, darker doors.

Picarones Press — a smiling picarón, llama, and child reading beside mountain peaks with the Picarones Press wordmark

Picarones Press

The shared sweetness

Picarones are a Peruvian sweet, made for passing around. Picarones Press brings that warmth to children’s stories—the pleasure of reading together, and the bright possibility of where a story can take a young mind.
