Our Mission:

To enrich our customers’ lives through publications and products that inform, inspire, and entertain.

What We Do:

It all started almost thirty years ago when Southern Living magazine readers began clamoring for a collection of our best recipes…

Voila! SOUTHERN LIVING 1979 ANNUAL RECIPES was born.

Over the years since we published the first Southern Living cookbook, Oxmoor House has become one of the nation’s leading lifestyle publishers. Today, we’re proud to offer nearly 250 titles across a variety of subject areas including cooking, entertaining, gardening, home décor, home improvement and health. Our books are available in thousands of retail stores and warehouse clubs across the country, as well as through convenient direct channels like mail order and online.

As a leader in lifestyle publishing, Oxmoor House frequently collaborates with a select list of fascinating partners. We’ve leveraged our expertise to develop publishing programs for other trusted brands, including Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Weight Watchers, O, The Oprah Magazine, Mr. Food, and Gooseberry Patch.

At Oxmoor House, we believe the key to our success over the years has been nurturing an intimate understanding of you, our readers, and delivering the latest, most engaging information to suit your lifestyle. How do we do it? It’s a labor of love – cooking, healthy living, and home improvement are a few of our favorite subjects, too!

Who We Are:

As a part of Southern Progress Corporation, Oxmoor House draws upon a rich heritage of excellence and integrity in the publishing industry, dating all the way back to 1886. Southern Progress publishes a wide variety of lifestyle magazines, such as Southern Living, Cooking Light, Health and Coastal Living. As a subsidiary of Time Inc. and Time Warner Inc., we are part of the world’s largest media and communications company.

Where We Are:

Sunset Books, our division in Menlo Park, California, publishes gardening, outdoor building, home improvement, and home décor titles. Their how-to guides have been sold in the West for nearly a century.

Though our parent company’s name denotes our longstanding relationship with the South, we know no borders. Oxmoor House reaches more than 10 million readers across the country and abroad.

From one generation to the next, we feel our greatest success has been creating and sustaining a bond with you, the reader. We hope you’ll regard Oxmoor House as your home away from home.
