An Independent Publishing House · Long Island, New York
Books built from real work and real life.
Dickson Keanaghan publishes practical, field-tested books by Michele G. Kunz and Joseph C. Kunz, Jr. — from nursing education and certification study guides to business, money, and building a life that holds.
Two libraries. One standard: useful.
Every Dickson Keanaghan title starts the same way our founders’ training business did in 1984 — with a real problem that deserved a clearer answer.

Dickson Keanaghan’s founding authors bring four decades of clinical practice, teaching, and business-building to the page.
From a Brooklyn classroom to bookshelves worldwide
It began with a problem: the study materials nurses needed simply didn’t exist. So in 1984, a young ICU nurse and a young entrepreneur started making their own. Their training company grew across Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk — and in 2003, they founded Dickson Keanaghan to publish their study guides and share them with the world.
Today the house publishes two growing libraries: Michele’s nursing education titles and Joseph’s Four Pillars books on business, money, and purpose.
