The Roots Of Monster Ivy
​
Monster Ivy began with two sisters who craved a home for books that didn't seem to exist anywhere. ​
​
They wanted books with taboo storylines, grittier subjects, or darker tones that also clung to ideals of hope, faith, redemption, and even some discussions of God.
​
There were plenty of Christian publishers— in fact, every large publisher has at least one Christian imprint — but most, if not all, offered warmer and fuzzier stories. The secular market had little room for faith-based messages.

Today Monster Ivy has grown to include more authors, new employees, and even a new owner. But we maintain the ideals of the original founders: creating "Edgy, Clean" fiction for our audience to enjoy. Our stories may have some warm and fuzzy elements, but we also have ax-wielding sirens, magical storm clouds, teen superspies, and reformed prostitutes.
