Company History

Pelican Publishers is a dynamic boutique publishing company which offers a full range of publishing, distribution and marketing services.  As one of the Caribbean’s leading publishers of books and magazines, we are committed to informing, entertaining and engaging booklovers with only the highest quality publications.

Our vision is captured in our company slogan – Communication with creativity.

Our Kingston, Jamaica based company was founded in 1999 by Executive Chairman Dr. Henry Lowe, a published author many times over, who is committed to publishing books that make a difference.

Pelican Publishers is a subsidiary of the Environmental Health Foundation; as such, we are best known for our health and wellness titles that enrich the lives of our readers.  Additionally, Pelican Publishers produces titles in the following categories: academic, fiction/literature, religion/spirituality, poetry, and biography.

Our team of qualified researchers, writers and editors work closely with our authors to provide exceptional and individualized service.  We take the book through the complete publishing process, from concept or manuscript to a finished product that the author is proud to see in print.

Our flagship publication is the quarterly magazine Caribbean Wellness & Lifestyle which promotes healthy lifestyle concepts to adults. The magazine is an informative resource that provides advice for living healthier, happier and longer lives through features on fashion, beauty, health and nutrition, fitness, spirituality, education, technology and finance.

Pelican Publishers is a member of Caribbean Publishers' Network (CAPNET), an organization of regional publishers working to create a vibrant and viable publishing industry in the Caribbean.
