About Oria Press
Oria Press is a micropress founded in June 2025 by Sill Bihagia. While the long-term intent is to publish other great human written books too, it’s best that Sill make a few marketing and distribution mistakes on their own books first. In mid-2026, Oria Press currently consists of me, a network of freelancers, and Allanya Afos, a part-time P.A.
​
What we do to support other authors:
1. Oria Press Popup Bookstore. I consign, hype, and sell other well-reviewed books from indies both local to me and abroad. You can find popup locations on my event page, but I am at a vendor fair, market or other event with the full lineup about once of month.
2. New as of Summer '26 - bulk run and distribution of ebooks in bookstores. I will be distributing an ebook code booklet to bookstores for author Keon Shore, who wrote the best dark fantasy I read this far this year (Ninth Path sries).

​
If you are an author with similar values, we'd love to hear from you to see how we can help each other. I'd be happy to swap books
​
We hope to expand next year with other Indie Author services to assist other writers and creatives stay afloat in a tough industry.
​
​
What are those values?
-
Human-written work with soul intact — No generative AI used to create prose or any other creative part of the process. Authors published or promoted by Oria Press must also avoid AI-generated covers or illustrations and use human voices for associated audiobooks.
-
High-quality storycraft — Fiction that challenges readers to think as well as feel. Craft that burns, and heals.
-
Empathetic literature — Books that celebrate gender equality, LGBTIA+ inclusivity, diversity, and in all other ways are non-dickish and respectful. It’s rough out there. Oria Press promotes stories that affirm empathy and understanding.
-
Professionally edited work — While not every indie title is professionally edited, the books Oria Press publishes or features at our pop-up will be indistinguishable in quality from those you'd expect from a major traditional press.
