A small publishing house, home to three authors
One and Only Stories began with a simple idea: a good book is made for someone. Not for everyone. For one particular reader: a quiet child at bedtime, a woman with a new year's list, a family around the table at Christmas, a reader who wants one more chapter.

How we make books
We start with that one reader: what they search for, what they wish existed, and what disappointed them before. Then we plan, write, design and check the book until it does its one job well.
Every book starts with research into what readers need. We plan each book's structure, write and design it, and check every page before it goes on sale. Some of our books use AI tools to help draft text or create illustrations; a person reviews, edits and approves everything. Moon dates are calculated with astronomy software and checked against U.S. Naval Observatory data, and puzzle and trivia answers are checked by hand.
