Ozark Mountain Publishing

What Ozark Mountain Publishing does

Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned independent book publisher founded in 1992 by Johnny and Dolores Cannon and headquartered in Huntsville, Arkansas. The company operates two imprints — Ozark Mountain Publishing, focused on non-fiction metaphysical and spiritual content (Self-Help, New Age, Meditation, Healing, Metaphysics, UFOs, Channeling, Hypnosis, Tarot, Astrology, Numerology) and Big Sandy Press, focused on metaphysical fiction, historical fiction, paranormal, and youth/teen titles. Its revenue model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce selling physical books, eBooks (in ePUB/PDF format, notably not compatible with NOOK or KINDLE), audio books, CDs, and DVDs through ozarkmt.com, supplemented by Amazon Print On Demand and international shipping to Canada, Mexico, and most other countries.

The catalog is anchored by the founder Dolores Cannon's titles (Convoluted Universe five-book series, Conversations with Nostradamus trilogy, Between Death & Life, UFO book sets) and a roster of recurring authors including Guy Needler (66 products), Stuart Wilson & Joanna Prentis (39 products), Garnet Schulhauser, and emerging voices like Lyn Willmott and Penny Barron. The publisher has built an unusual international footprint for a niche imprint, with 337+ foreign-language titles across 30+ languages (Spanish 52, Portuguese 36, German 28, Turkish 18, French 13, Italian 9, Serbian 9) and a 56-title free foreign books program, plus a dedicated 'Foreign Publishers' channel onboarding international co-publishers.

There is no proprietary technology platform underlying the business: the company is a traditional publisher whose primary event-driven community asset is the annual Ozark Mountain UFO Conference held every April in Eureka Springs, Arkansas (with the predecessor Transformation Conference having run 2006-2017). Pricing is per-unit and ranges from $5-$50 with eBooks at $9.99, books $13-$35, audio $11-$22, and combo sets $19-$36. The firm employs 11-50 people, has raised no external capital, and has no disclosed enterprise customers or institutional investors — operating entirely as a founder-led niche media business.
