Welcome to Grain Valley Publishing

Where stories come to life and dreams take flight!

At Grain Valley Publishing, we believe in the power of narratives to inspire, challenge, and transform. Founded by Grant and Claire Overstake in 2012, our mission is to craft stories that resonate with readers of all ages, particularly young adults.

With two critically acclaimed novels—Maggie Vaults Over the Moon and The Real Education of TJ Crowley—and their award-winning and acclaimed audiobooks, we explore the resilience of the human spirit, the impact of strong role models, and the courage needed to tackle life’s toughest challenges.

Meet the Team

Grant and Claire Overstake, Master’s track & field All-Americans, bring the same dedication to storytelling as they do to winning medals. At Grain Valley Publishing, their passion and perseverance shine through in every compelling, character-driven story they create.

Our Inspiration

Grain Valley, the fictional setting of our first novel, is a magical place where dreams come true. Today, the spirit of Grain Valley continues through our works, created from our base in Wichita, Kansas, where we collaborate with top editors, designers, and audiobook narrators.
