Combining elements of royalty and self-publishing models to create what they term a “mentoring press,” Beaver's Pond Press is known for their personal interactions and creative approach to publishing.
Publishing approximately twenty-five children's books a year, Beaver's Pond Press partners with dozens of cartoonists and illustrators.
They also publish a number of fiction and nonfiction books, including memoirs and cookbooks.
Their titles have been endorsed by people such as Bill Clinton[2] and Garrison Keillor,[3] and recognized by organizations such as the Writer's Digest,[4] Moonbeam Awards,[5] and IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards.
Beaver's Pond authors retain the full rights to their books, and notable authors that have first self-published through Beaver's Pond and then gone on to secure royalty-publishing deals include Pockets of Joy by Roxane Battle (a #1 Amazon bestseller in the Single Parents category, endorsed by Tavis Smiley,[6] now published by Whitaker House) and Tell My Sons by Lt. Col. Mark M. Weber (with a foreword by Robin Williams, now published by Penguin Random House).
