Get To Know HRP
Hundredfold Return Publishing (HRP) was born from a passion for storytelling and a determination to create space for voices that have too often been overlooked. As a Black woman navigating the publishing industry, founder Endeah Canty experienced firsthand the challenges of breaking into a space where diverse stories and authentic representation have historically been underrepresented. Rather than waiting for change, she chose to become part of it.
Founded on the belief that every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, HRP creates award-winning children's books that celebrate diversity, inspire imagination, nurture faith, and encourage meaningful conversations. Through engaging books, author visits, literacy experiences, and community partnerships, HRP is helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading.
Today, HRP's mission extends beyond publishing. With the upcoming Heart to Story Children's Book Creation System, mentorship opportunities, and new educational initiatives, HRP is empowering the next generation of storytellers especially those from underrepresented communities to share their voices, preserve their experiences, and create stories that inspire children for generations to come.

Endeah is an award-winning children's author, storyteller, entrepreneur, and the founder of Hundredfold Return Publishing (HRP), a mission-driven publishing company dedicated to creating stories that inspire children, celebrate diversity, and nurture a lifelong love of reading.
Inspired by the wonder of seeing the world through her daughters' eyes, Endeah began writing stories that spark imagination, encourage meaningful conversations, and help every child feel seen, valued, and empowered. She believes that books have the power not only to entertain, but also to build confidence, shape identity, strengthen faith, and open young minds to new possibilities.
Her debut picture book, The Magical Shell, received national recognition as the winner of the 2023 BookFest Award for Children's Action & Adventure, establishing Endeah as a fresh and inspiring voice in children's literature. Since then, her vision has grown beyond publishing books to building experiences that encourage literacy, creativity, and storytelling in homes, classrooms, churches, and communities.
Today, Endeah partners with schools, libraries, organizations, and families through engaging author visits, read-aloud experiences, literacy initiatives, and speaking engagements. She is also the creator of Heart to Story, an innovative children's book creation system designed to help aspiring authors discover the value of their own stories and bring them to life.
