After two decades in publishing and media, we created Moc Media to bridge traditional and new media while maintaining ethical business practices.
Our logo
— a sphere containing the word „MOC” (POWER) — represents our core belief: words shape people, and people shape reality. We publish books and collaborate with authors who share our vision of improving the world.
„At the beginning was THE SUN”
Following a profound personal experience witnessing the impact of harmful content on young readers, our founder committed to publishing only books that build up rather than tear down. We believe in the transformative power of carefully chosen words that touch hearts more gently than hands ever could.
JOIN OUR JOURNEY
Be part of a publishing revolution where ethics meet excellence, tradition embraces innovation, and every book carries the power to illuminate minds and warm hearts.
