About Soaring Soria Books

Our Story

Founded in 2025, Soaring Soria Books was born from a passion for young adult literature that inspires, challenges, and uplifts readers. We believe that stories have the power to transform lives, especially during the formative teenage years.

Our name is inspired by the soaring birds of the Soria region in Spain, representing the heights that young minds can reach when given the wings of imagination and knowledge.

Soria Nest Press

Our young adult fiction is published under the Soria Nest Press imprint, representing our commitment to nurturing emerging voices in YA literature. Like a protective nest where young birds learn to fly, our imprint provides a supportive environment for both new and established authors to develop their craft and reach their audience.

Each Soria Nest Press title reflects our dedication to stories that help young readers navigate the complexities of growing up while entertaining and inspiring them to soar to new heights.
