Our Story

Founded in 2013, Sahtu Press has grown from publishing limited edition children's books to offering a wide range of novels, short stories, and poetry. Our name, "Sahtu," comes from the Pali word "Sādhu," meaning "It is well" - an expression of praise and approval in Theravada Buddhist rituals.
