Sorry House's debut publication was I will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together by Mira Gonzalez. It was released on 31 January 2013.[2] Gonzalez is a close friend of Madsen, and the editing process was notably intimate.[3] The book was named a Dazed poetry book of the week,[4] a Flavorwire book of the year,[5] and was excerpted at Vice.[6] It was a finalist for both the Goodreads Choice Award[7] and Believer Poetry Award.[8]

That same year Sorry House published Joke Book by Victor Vazquez.[9]
