Mojave Publishing
Mojave Publishing is the imprint behind the YA Nonfiction Skills series — ten practical-skills books for young adults, the first seven arriving Summer 2026.
The series is built around a few stubborn convictions: that teens are adults capable of handling adult information; that "you'll figure it out" isn't an answer when you weren't taught the thing in the first place; that real books on these topics should be written by people who actually do the work (and an AI collaborator credited honestly when she earns it); and that schools, libraries, parents, and counselors should have access to teaching materials for free, regardless of whether anyone buys the books.
