A few titles remain available as ebooks, and authors may continue to have some copies for sale. UPDATE: After 16 years of bringing amazing Jewish women's voices to the book-reading public, Yotzeret Publishing closed the doors effective July 1, 2019. "Creating books from a Jewish perspective"
The word yotzeret means “she creates” in Hebrew and the stylized “Y” of our trademarked logo contains the
Hebrew letter tzaddi. Founded on the value of K’lal Yisrael, we encourage books that reflect the diversity of Jews and Jewish practice. Our mission is to publish books written from a Jewish perspective, with a preference for those written by women authors. Why women authors, you may ask? Because outside of children’s books, women are sadly under-represented in Jewish literature. We are working toward a change in that. We are an independent publisher based in St. Paul, Minnesota, where we are always on the lookout for good books, talented authors, and tasty kosher food. We are also well aware that, as part of the publishing industry, we rely in particular on trees as a natural resource for our books and we utilize recycled paper and paperless options wherever feasible. It is perhaps because of our Jewish perspective that we strongly support those who are underrepresented or unfairly judged. To that end, we are very much in favor of independent publishers over the “Big Five” New York publishing houses, and independent bookstores over the bookstore chains. Yotzeret Publishing is a member of IBPA – the Independent Book Publishers Association (formerly PMA), the Midwest Independent Publishers Association (MIPA), and the Minnesota Book Publishers Roundtable (MBPR).
