About

The Imprint

The Dorman Creative is an independent publishing imprint founded by Jeff Dorman in Los Angeles, California. It exists to publish stories that deserve to exist — stories that come from real moments, real conversations, and the unscripted imagination of children.

The Philosophy

The entertainment value of what comes naturally from the creative mind of a child on the fly is worth more than any scripted version of life. These are the stories we publish.
