Brand-to-Books™

Your Story Doesn’t End With the Last Page

A great children’s book can become the foundation of something even bigger.

The Brand to Books™ Program is Purple Diamond Press’ optional author development program designed to help transform your story into a recognizable brand. Whether your goal is to build a book series, expand into educational resources, or create products that enhance the reader experience, we’ll help you explore opportunities that align with your vision.

What Is Brand to Books™?

Every successful brand begins with a story.

Brand to Books™ helps authors think beyond a single title by identifying opportunities to expand their book into complementary products, educational materials, merchandise, and experiences that strengthen their message and deepen reader engagement.

Our goal is to help authors build a brand—not just publish a book.

Brand Extension Opportunities

Depending on your book and audience, Brand to Books™ may include opportunities such as:

Activity Books
Coloring Books
Reading Journals
Teacher Guides
Classroom Resources
Plush Characters
Educational Games
Flash Cards
Bookmarks
Stickers
Tote Bags
Apparel
Toys
Puzzles
Book Series Development
Character Licensing
Speaking Materials
Educational Workshops
Curriculum Resources

Every opportunity is customized to your book and long-term goals.

Designed Around Your Story

No two books are the same, and neither are their opportunities for growth.

Our team works collaboratively with each author to develop products and resources that naturally extend the story while remaining true to the original vision and audience.

Quality always comes before quantity.

Why Build a Brand?

A strong author brand can:

Increase reader engagement
Create additional revenue opportunities
Support school visits and classroom presentations
Strengthen recognition for your books
Encourage repeat readers
Expand educational impact
Build long-term visibility for your work

Is Brand to Books™ Right for Every Author?

Brand to Books™ is completely optional.

Every project is evaluated individually based on its audience, market potential, and the author’s long-term goals. Some books are perfect as standalone stories, while others have exciting opportunities to grow into something much larger.

We’ll help you determine what makes the most sense for your book.

Dream Bigger. Grow Further.

Publishing your book is only the beginning.

Whether your vision is one unforgettable story or an entire children’s brand, Brand to Books™ is here to help you explore what’s possible.

Because sometimes the next chapter isn’t another book—it’s a brand.

Beyond the Book

Purple Diamond Press develops books with long-term potential in mind. When appropriate opportunities arise, select titles may be considered for additional formats, licensing, partnerships, and audience expansion beyond the printed page.

Subsidiary-rights and licensing opportunities vary by title, audience, and market demand. Inclusion in the Purple Diamond Press catalog does not guarantee translation, audio, merchandise, media, or licensing agreements.

We explore opportunities for your story to reach readers around the world through foreign language editions.

Audio Editions

Select titles may be explored for audiobook and narrated digital editions that bring the story to life through voice, sound, and accessible listening experiences.

Merchandise & Licensing

Select titles may be considered for educational products, plush characters, classroom resources, activity books, and other licensed merchandise.

Film & Media Opportunities

Some stories may have potential for animation, television, film, digital media, or other visual adaptations. Opportunities are evaluated individually and are never guaranteed.

Speaking & School Visits

Authors may expand their visibility through school visits, classroom read-alouds, library programs, conferences, workshops, and community events connected to their books.
