Our Story
Pygmy Monk Publications was born out of a certified letter and 30 days of waiting.
For five years, Jamey O'Donnell's name was on every cover and his life was in the pages — but the rights weren't his. A traditional house controlled the distribution, the formats, and the money.
In early 2026 he read the fine print, found the termination clause, and mailed the letter. Federal law gives 30 days. On June 18, 2026, all five books came home.
That envelope is why Pygmy Monk Publications exists.
What We Stand For
This Press Runs on, Three Rules
01
The writer owns the work.
Always. We never take your copyright. Your name, your rights, your dignity — they stay with you.
02
No corporate nonsense.
No fake contests, no $5,000 "marketing packages," no smoke. Just honest publishing, plainly done.
03
Stories have to matter.
We publish fiction about hard truth, redemption, and survival — books that hit hard and stay with you.
