Jon Allen
Founder, JAC Press | Creator, Storyteller, Advocate
Jon Allen started JAC Press with one simple belief: stories have the power to change everything. As a lifelong writer, creative, and independent publisher, Jon knows firsthand how hard it can be to break into the industry and how vital it is to have someone in your corner who believes in your voice.
JAC Press was born not from corporate ambition, but from community. Jon saw too many great creators pushed aside, told their stories weren’t “marketable” enough, “safe” enough, or “trendy” enough. So he built a space where originality isn’t just welcomed, it’s the entire point.
Jon’s work spans across media novels, comics, scripts, and more. But at the heart of it all is a passion for creators. Under his leadership, JAC Press has grown into more than a publishing house. It’s become a movement: one that supports the arts, reinvests in communities, and gives back through charitable projects tied to every release.
Whether launching a new book, mentoring emerging talent, or helping stories cross into film and television, Jon’s mission stays the same: empower people to tell the truth through fiction and to create the kind of world they want to live in.
