About HARZ Publishing

At HARZ Publishing, we believe stories have the power to heal.

Founded by Hector Rivera, a trauma-informed nurse and lifelong storyteller, HARZ Publishing is a home for books rooted in real-life experience and written with one goal in mind: to offer comfort, clarity, and courage to those who need it most.

We publish more than just wellness guides. From somatic workbooks to emotional coming-of-age stories and narratives shaped by mystery or fear, each HARZ Publishing title explores the powerful intersections of body, memory, and healing. Whether we’re sharing practical tools for managing anxiety or telling gripping tales drawn from our own lived experiences, we create every book to meet readers where they are and help them move forward.

What We Publish:

1. Wellness & Somatic Healing

These books draw from Hector’s decades of nursing experience and offer down-to-earth, body-based tools to ease anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional overload. The practices are simple, backed by science, and meant to fit into real life—especially when things feel overwhelming.

2. Stories with Mystery, Emotion, and Truth

Some books emerge from the more unsettling edges of experience—stories shaped by fear, mystery, and the unexplainable. Others reflect the growth, confusion, and transformation that come with the coming of age. No matter the theme, each story stays rooted in emotional truth.

3. Support for Every Life Stage

We create resources for teens, adults, and older readers navigating personal growth, daily stress, and significant life transitions.

Why We Exist:

Hector wanted to write something real ever since he was ten. But after years of dealing with insomnia, anxiety, and trauma, writing turned into something deeper and more personal—it helped him survive. It gave him a way to sort through everything, to say what he couldn’t say out loud. His stories come from what he’s lived, and he writes them for people who’ve felt the same but never had the words.

Our Purpose:

We write every HARZ Publishing book with intention. Hector’s goal is to reach those who feel unseen—offering tools, stories, and reflections that support emotional well-being and inner strength.

Some of our books are AI-assisted, helping transform lived experience into accessible, impactful writing—while always preserving the heart and humanity behind every word.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and walking this journey with us.
