A family-owned publishing house since 1998
Baldwin Terney Press is a small family-owned book publishing company started in 1998 in the USA. We believe that literature allows our imagination to take flight, teaches us invaluable lessons, and steers our lives. We are proud publishers of imaginative illustrators, gifted storytellers, and knowledgeable instructors.
Children's Books
Colorful picture books written and illustrated in-house, starting with the "I Need ___ Milk!" series by Rachel Mattei.
Managed Security Buyers Guide News
New in 2026 — a weekly briefing for MSSP, MDR, and XDR buyers, written by our founder, Mark W. Mattei.
Cyber Elementary
A sister initiative teaching elementary-age kids cybersecurity and AI safety through books, articles, and resources.
Books for kids. Insight for buyers.
Baldwin Terney Press started as a family project — a place to publish stories for the kids we love. It's grown into three things at once: picture books that spark imagination; Cyber Elementary School, a 36-lesson cyber security, online safety, and AI safety curriculum for grades 3–6; and the Managed Security Buyers Guide News series — a weekly, plain-spoken briefing for the people who buy managed security services, drawn from 25+ years in cyber operations and building managed security programs for critical infrastructure. All three share the same goal: cut through the noise and say something useful.
