OUR MISSION  
Our Mission

Prodigal's mission is to meet the needs of our readers while giving hope to those writers and story tellers who still believe in working hard to fulfill their dreams.

Prodigal mission is carried out with two objectives: publishing and teaching. Our books are as important as our reason for publishing. Prodigal's requirement for each published book lies in its purpose. Each story unfolds in such a way that provokes the reader to think or to see something we have previously taken for granted. Prodigal doesn’t publish for the sake of publishing. We publish so that we may give voice to those that have none. With our publications, we seek to touch lives, one perspective at a time. Through Prodigal's voices, we strive to inspire many to believe in the audacity of hope.

Prodigal’s partnerships are built on business and personal relationships with people around the world. Our partners are writers, painters,journalists, musicians, teachers, actors, composers, and thinkers from all walks of life.

The publishing industry is a multi-faceted industry with a potential for growth. Prodigal Publishing believes that we can grow as long as we remain versatile, focused, and stay in tune with the needs of our writers, our teaching clients and our readers.
