About the press

Ashland Creek Press is an independent publisher founded in 2011 by Midge Raymond and John Yunker, dedicated to environmental and animal rights literature. The press emerged from a commitment to give voice to stories that explore the relationship between humans and the natural world, often focusing on themes of conservation, animal welfare, and ecological justice. Its catalog includes fiction and nonfiction that challenge anthropocentric perspectives and advocate for a more compassionate planet. With a curatorial eye for narratives that blend literary quality with ethical urgency, Ashland Creek Press has carved a niche in the publishing landscape, appealing to readers who seek thoughtful engagement with pressing environmental issues.

Publishing focus

Ashland Creek Press is a small, independent publisher of books for a better planet. Its mission is to publish a range of books that foster an appreciation for worlds outside our own, for nature and the animal kingdom, and for the ways in which we all connect. Ashland Creek Press also publishes books for writers, including Writing for Animals and Animal Writes , and offers classes and programs on writing for animals and the natural world.
