He publishes his work through Norman Kitzmiller Publications, a company he established in 2022 in memory of his brother. This platform also manages his music rights, enabling him to express his literary work in various artistic forms.

In the realm of music, Kitzmiller releases his works through Ace of Toaster Records, commencing with "Recorded Songs from the Toaster, Vol. I" (2025), a compilation of acoustic ballads that reflect the same candid and authentic voice as his writing. In late 2025, he plans to release "Burnt Songs from the Toaster," an album featuring heavier metal influences that will showcase an alternative facet of his creative expression.
