Oomf,
Inc
Oomf, Inc.
is a packager of interesting and innovative books for children
of all ages and heights. We create quality picture books,
nonfiction, preschool,
novelty, humor, activity,
licensed and merchandise titles for a number of leading
publishers. We produce some adult humor as well. There is no
single look or style at Oomf, Inc..
Generally our books come from original concepts and
inspirations, though we also enjoy developing or co-developing
a publisher’s new book ideas. We can also quickly provide
concepts and text which publishers develop in-house. (Our
background in advertising and publishing helps us pursue
concepts that sell.)
Oomf,
Inc. titles are known for their original themes… superior art…
quality writing and design… intelligence and/or humor… and a
few unique twists. There is almost always an educational
element, and it is almost always hidden away where our readers
won’t realize.
