Defiance Press & Publishing is a politically conservative book publisher based in Conroe, Texas that was founded by David Thomas Roberts in 2012.
History
The company was founded by David Thomas Roberts in 2012 to counter liberal publishers, saying:
For a long time the left was the champion of free speech. Look at the McCarthy era and look at the protesters in the sixties, in the Vietnam era. But today I think it’s mostly the conservative voices that are silenced...When you walked into a publishing conference, it was like walking into a Star Wars bar, with those creatures. My god. I couldn’t tell a man from a woman at those events."
In July 2021,the company began publishing a 12-book series Violent But True Bedtime Stories.
In 2023, the company sponsored the "Rally against Censorship" at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center.
