About Pathfinder


We’re so glad you found us! At Pathfinder Press (formerly Talya Press), we’re a family-owned business on a mission to help other families find their path to creating stories with purpose. We believe that every family has a story to tell. Whether you’re homeschooling, building a family legacy, or simply love the power of storytelling, we’re here to be your guide on that journey.

Our mission is simple:

To teach families how to craft purposeful stories that will inspire, encourage, and impact the next generation in a way that makes Jesus smile.

Pathfinder Press was born out of our own homeschooling experience. As a family with five children, we’ve always valued the power of stories. In fact, we believe that the ultimate storyteller is Jesus, who spoke in parables that transformed hearts wherever He went.

Whether it’s the daily conversations around the dinner table, the bedtime stories that spark imagination, or the books we use to teach and learn, stories have always been at the heart of our home. Our homeschool, Pathfinder Academy, is where our own children have grown and discovered the world through the books they read and the stories we tell. Now, Pathfinder Press is our way of sharing that same love of learning and storytelling with others.

Our goal is to equip families like yours with easy-to-follow writing strategies so you can transform your ideas into a children’s book manuscript. One that’s ready for print and ready to inspire! Whether you’re looking to write your first book or you want to teach your children how to craft their own stories, we’re here to help you!

Our Inspiration

Our name, Pathfinder Press, is inspired by the following Bible verses:

Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

Proverbs 4:11-12

I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

We invite you to join us on this exciting adventure of creativity, learning, and storytelling. Whether you’re here to learn how to write your own children’s book, find inspiration for your next project, or browse books created by our family, we hope you’ll find your way with Pathfinder Press. Together, we can share stories that honor God, uplift families, and inspire the hearts of children everywhere.
