Capturing the imagination of teen and middle grade readers

Who We Are: Our Mission & Vision

Owl's Nest is a small-press independent publishing house based just outside Madison, Wisconsin. 

Our mission and vision is to produce high quality fiction for teen and middle grade readers. All Owl’s Nest books are true, beautiful, and good reflections of the adolescent experience. Our books contain stories that adolescents will enjoy, and parents, grandparents, librarians, teachers, and homeschoolers can feel confident handing to young readers.

At Owl's Nest, we make space for the in-between stories that capture the magical years between childhood and adulthood.
