Our Story
We are currently an exclusive independent publisher of books by Kerry Dashnaw.
KED Publishing was built on a simple belief: some stories are too important to go untold.
Our Mission
Why We Publish
KED Publishing exists to give voice to stories that might otherwise go unheard. We believe that the right book — in the right hands, at the right moment — can change a life. That conviction shapes every title we bring into the world.
As an independent press, we are free to publish what matters rather than what is merely marketable. Our small catalog includes children's picture books, and a personal memoir, with each one rooted in real experience and written with genuine care.
We are especially committed to books that speak to underserved readers: children navigating difficult family circumstances, adults searching for meaning, and anyone who has ever felt that their story didn't quite fit the mainstream shelf.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Authenticity
Every book we've published grew from lived experience. We don't manufacture stories — we help real ones find their readers.
Accessibility
Great stories belong to everyone. Through a partnership with expert translation services, we have published in Spanish, and we keep our books affordable and widely available.
Community
We believe books build bridges — between generations, cultures, and circumstances. Our titles are designed to spark conversation and connection.
Craft
Independent doesn't mean careless. Every KED title is edited, designed, and produced with the same attention to quality you'd expect from any great press.
How It Started
From Author to Publisher
KED Publishing was founded by Kerry & Peter Dashnaw after she wrote her first book and realized that the story she needed to tell didn't fit neatly into the existing publishing landscape although inquiries from well-known and established publishing houses are welcome.
What began as a single title has grown into a catalog of twelve books across multiple series and genres. Each one reflects Kerry's background as an educator, her faith, and her deep belief in the power of storytelling to heal and connect.
Today KED Publishing continues to grow — one carefully chosen story at a time.
"The right book, in the right hands, can change everything."
— Kerry Dashnaw, Founder, KED Publishing
