F.A.Q.

  • Do you publish picture books? 
    • No, we do not publish picture books. 
  • Do you publish early reader books? 
    • No, we do not publish early reader books. Our target readership begins around age eight with our Middle Grade publications. 
  • Do you publish adult books?
    • No, we do not publish adult books. Sometimes characters in our books are adults, but all themes and content at Owl’s Nest Publishers are targeted to our audience, which is adolescent readers. 
  • Do you publish poetry?
    • Yes, we do publish poetry, as long as it is written for adolescents and fits our vision and company mission. 
  • What genres do you publish?
    • We publish almost every genre with the exceptions of erotica and nonfiction: contemporary, historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, romance, mystery, and any sub-genre within.
  • Do you publish nonfiction?
    • No, we do not publish nonfiction.
  • Are you a "clean" publisher?
    • At Owl's Nest, we acknowledge that the breadth of the adolescent experience will lead to story content that explores all aspects of life—some of it hard, and not all of it what some readers might consider "clean." We think it is important for adolescents to be able to read stories that give space for difficult subject matters and material. However, as publishers who also care deeply about the full personhood of our young readers, we will use our best judgment to avoid publishing content that is exploitative, graphic, obscene, or profane. 
  • Are you a Christian publishing house?
    • We are not a Christian publishing house. We are committed to maintaining a space where people of all belief systems and walks of life can find a home for their stories.
