Stories worth keeping. Books worth sharing.

Welcome to Hearth & Elder Press, an independent self-publishing press dedicated to bringing distinctive books and meaningful stories into the world.

From the first idea on the page to the finished book in your hands, I wanted the books I write to be personal, kind, and to enrich. I create and publish books with care, giving each title the attention it deserves.
