About

Pele Publications was founded in 1998, and is focused on publishing books authored or co-authored by Catherine Kitcho.

We are not a conventional publisher and do not accept unsolicited book proposals from individuals or inquiries from agents.

Pele Publications was named after Pele, who is the legendary goddess of fire and volcanoes who makes her home on the Big Island of Hawaii, at the Halemaumau Crater within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. She is a symbol of powerful, creative energy.

(Note to soccer fans: NO, Pele Publications has nothing to do with Pele, the soccer player.)
