Publishing books that educate, inspire, and equip a new generation of Americans to pursue their dreams with purpose, discipline, and faith.
Our Mission
Patriot Scholar Press exists to publish books that matter — works of practical wisdom, academic rigor, and patriotic conviction that help Americans of all ages navigate life with purpose and clarity.
Founded in New Braunfels, Texas in 2026, Patriot Scholar Press is an imprint of MJHW Holdings, LLC. We believe that education and service to country are not competing values — they are the same value, expressed differently.
From practical guides for young adults stepping into the world after high school to scholarly works on law enforcement, leadership, and American civic life — every title we publish carries a message worth passing on.

As iron sharpens iron — Dr. Watts embodies that proverb. His speaking engagements leave my team thinking bigger and serving better. A powerful voice for any audience.
Finally, a book that speaks to young people in plain language about real life — money, relationships, purpose, and faith. Dr. Watts brings it all together brilliantly.

Pricing
Choose the payment option that fits your goals. Both options include our standard publishing package for one book—and you retain ownership of your work.
Option A
A straightforward path to preparing and publishing your book.
Includes publishing consultation, project coordination, interior formatting, cover design coordination, ISBN assignment, Amazon KDP setup, paperback and eBook publication, and launch consultation.
You retain your copyright and receive 100% of royalties paid by distribution platforms.
Ask About Option AOption B
Publish your book with smaller monthly payments and continued marketing opportunities through Patriot Scholar Press.
First-year total: $1,583. A 12-month commitment applies.
Beginning in month 13, your subscription drops to $14.99 per month for continued website marketing and participation in selected trade-show and event opportunities. After the initial commitment, you may cancel future monthly renewals.
Ask About Option BPart of Option B
As part of Option B, you agree to supply an initial order of 20 finished books, which Patriot Scholar Press purchases from you at your documented printing cost plus $5 per copy. You earn $100 above printing cost on that initial order.
These books become our inventory for resale through our website and at events. You receive your payment when we purchase the books, rather than waiting for retail sales. Additional orders depend on demand.
