A Celebration of Stories, Community, and Creativity
A curated selection of this year’s Mission Point Press titles—organized by genre—to help readers discover meaningful, memorable books to gift (and enjoy) this holiday season, alongside reflections from our president on a year of growth and gratitude.

As we close out another remarkable year at Mission Point Press, we’re reflecting on the stories, authors, and partnerships that have shaped our work and strengthened our community. In the words of our president and publisher, Jen Wahi:
“This year has been one of tremendous growth for our publishing program… Each project reminded us why we do this work: to help stories find their readers and to make the publishing experience supportive, professional, and deeply rewarding.”
From debut authors launching their first books to seasoned voices returning with new work, this year showcased the power of storytelling in all its forms. We also expanded our reach through This One’s About, our new podcast produced by Doug Dorda, which takes listeners behind the scenes of the writing and publishing process. The response has been extraordinary—five-star reviews, a growing audience, and a full slate of episodes well into 2026.
To celebrate a year of collaboration, creativity, and connection, we’ve put together a Holiday Gift Guide featuring standout 2025 Mission Point Press publications. Whether you're shopping for a fiction lover, a history buff, a memoir enthusiast, or the little readers in your life, this guide highlights meaningful books for every reader on your list.
Explore our handpicked selections below—and find the perfect story to gift this season.
