Who Are we?
Our Mission
Dowell House Publishing is an independent, hybrid publisher seeking to speak life, truth and beauty into its readership. We are interested in publishing high quality literature for children and adults that nurture ideas of self-care and love for others, wholesome character education, and the search for truth. Our passion is to see children growing up with a healthy and positive view of themselves and others in order to have the confidence to seek their purpose and build loving communities.
We strive for our stories and studies about everyday life in school, the family, the community to be relatable to the age group. In addition to making our stories “real” we also want them to dig deep into difficult issues in order to sew universal moral truths such as love, acceptance, patience, forgiveness, kindness and endurance into receptive hearts.
Our Core Values
In considering what projects to take on, all manuscripts are reviewed with the following values in mind.
- Faith
- Family
- Education
- Quality
Faith
We believe in objective truth and morality. We do not uphold that it is up to the majority or individual to define truth. We uphold the simple Judeo-Christian values of loving the Lord with all we are, and loving our neighbor as ourselves.
Family
We believe that a healthy family system is the core of society. We strive to represent traditional family values and the pursuit of healthy relationships within the nuclear and extended family.
Education
We believe that education is a great tool to foster understanding in a multi-cultural community. The more we know about each other the easier it is to drop judgement and find common ground. Learning about oneself is also important for healthy mental, physical and spiritual growth.
Quality
We believe that there should be a level of excellence in independent publishing equivalent to that of traditional publishing. Stories should be relatable and something people want to read.
