A Craft Publisher with two voices.

Evamaya Publishing House began more than a decade ago when its founder decided, quite innocently, to attempt to write a book. It had always been a dream of his, and he wanted to see if he could do it. There was no publishing strategy and no ambitious business plan.

Then, one evening at the dinner table, his young daughters Eva and Maya asked how the book was coming along. Their enthusiasm turned a private ambition into a promise — the book would have to be finished. That first manuscript became Hearts & Spades, and when traditional publishers answered with rejections or silence, he asked the question that started this company: what would it take to publish this book ourselves — and to do it well?

The answer became a small publishing company, named for the two young readers who had inspired it. During the pandemic, a friend's idea for a book about leadership put Evamaya back to work. And when one of those daughters decided to write a book of her own, Evamaya launched Distant Star Books to give science fiction a home of its own.

Today Evamaya Publishing House is a Craft Publisher — small by choice, giving each project the care it needs. All ISBNs for our titles are owned by Evamaya Publishing House.

Distant Star Books, wholly owned by Evamaya Publishing House, publishes fiction — specifically science fiction.

Evamaya Books publishes nonfiction works on leadership, business and technology.
