Books that are here to make a difference. WE ARE
A creative collective with a penchant for words and other meanings that strike a chord in the perceiver. We believe in the magic of sharing … stories, ideas, experiences, recipes for transformation, for becoming more infinite in our beingness, for exposing our authentic selves, for getting there together through finding common ground, building bridges, and blending the old ways with the new. We take a holistic approach to bringing books into the world that make noise and create dissonance within the whole in order that ALL can be resolved to produce beautiful harmonies.

Dedicated to publishing award-winning books, we strive to support talented writers and assist them to discover, claim, and refine their own distinct voice. Merry Dissonance Press is the place where collaboration and facilitation of our shared human experiences join together to make a difference in our world. We each know what we know. We were each born with a voice not quite like any other. And MDP would like nothing more than to help you (re)discover and (re)claim your own unique voice to share it with the rest of us in perfect (dis)harmony. We make a little noise. We gather to create a great stir. Merry Dissonance indeed! In a world that can oftentimes feel difficult, overwhelming, lonely, and even confusing, we are here to bring more light, deeper understanding, intense healing, and genuine connection. We do that by supporting authors and books that bring messages of hope, inspiration, insights, and new ways of looking at our world and each other. Merry Dissonance Press offers authors an exceptional alternative publishing experience. Being a hybrid independent publisher, we partner with our authors to take them through a collaborative experience over a well-defined time period, while allowing them to retain full ownership of their books and all royalties earned. We are often told by our authors that they feel heard, seen, valued, and a true partner in the publishing process. As a partner in the publishing process, MDP does own the book’s ISBN; however, the author owns the copyright and is entitled to all profits from book sales; we do not take any portion of the book’s net sales or royalties. MDP is a selective press with a focus on award-winning and well-reviewed books. We work with our authors to ensure that their books stand out for their high quality. A boutique experience,
