Handersen Publishing Team
Independent Children's Book Publishers
Who is the Handersen Publishing Team?
Handersen Publishing is a family-owned, independent children’s book publishers focused on creating quality books for young readers. Even our logo was created with the handprints of our children. As we expand and take on more authors and illustrators, we are working to become a staple in children’s and young adult books.
Each of our books are fast-paced with diverse and relatable characters that find themselves in challenging and entertaining circumstances. We also publish, Stinkwaves, a magazine full of short stories, poetry, and artwork for middle grade and young adult readers.
We are based in Lincoln, Nebraska and arrange author and illustrator events across the Midwest.

The "Gentle Giant" left us on Daylight Savings Day, March 13th, 2016. He will forever be in our hearts and memories. You were (and still are) my biggest inspiration. Instant smiles when I think about you, Bossman. --Tevin My brother-in-law was a true model of greatness with his glowing smile and endless kindness. My world is infinitely better for having known him, as are my bowling skills. --Nichole
