I was very happy with my experiences with them."

Who We’re a Good Fit For

Purple Diamond Press is intentionally selective. We work best with authors who:

✓ Are writing children’s books with purpose, heart, and intention

✓Value professional standards and long-term impact

✓ Want guidance, collaboration, and clarity throughout the process

✓ Care about representation, kindness, inclusion, and social-emotional learning

If you’re simply looking for the fastest or cheapest way to publish, we may not be the right fit — and that’s okay.

A Thoughtful, Supportive Partnership

Authors choose Purple Diamond Press because they don’t want to navigate publishing alone — and they don’t want a transactional experience.

They want:

  • Clarity instead of confusion
  • Partnership instead of pressure
  • Purpose instead of shortcuts

That’s what we provide.

What Authors Can Expect

Publishing with Purple Diamond Press is a collaborative, structured process designed to guide authors from manuscript to publication with clarity and professionalism.

Authors can expect:
• Clear timelines and publishing milestones
• Professional editorial and design oversight
• Access to vetted editors and illustrators
• Transparent communication throughout the process
• A publishing partner who prioritizes quality, integrity, and long-term impact

While we provide strategic guidance and support, authors should be prepared to participate actively in the publishing journey and approach their book as both a creative work and a business investment.
