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.
