Our Publishing Philosophy
At Purple Diamond Press, we believe the best books are created through collaboration. We don’t work for our authors—we work with them.
Every story has a unique voice and heart, and our goal is to preserve both throughout the publishing process. Rather than changing your vision, we provide professional guidance, industry expertise, and honest feedback to help your manuscript become the strongest version of itself.
Our publishing program includes a one-time standard publishing fee with two package options designed to meet the needs of children’s book authors. To ensure transparency and give authors greater creative involvement, professional editing and illustration are contracted separately. This allows you to work directly with your editor and illustrator while our team oversees the process, provides guidance, and ensures every element meets our high publishing standards.
From your initial manuscript to your finished book, we’ll guide you through editing, illustration, design, production, distribution, and launch. And once your book is published, it doesn’t stop there. Through our partnership with the Independent Publishers Group (IPG), your book has access to global distribution, making it available to retailers, wholesalers, libraries, schools, and readers around the world.
Publishing a book is more than a project—it’s a journey. We’re honored every time an author invites us to be part of theirs, and we’re committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
Your story. Your voice. Our expertise. Together, we’ll create a book you’ll be proud to share with the world.
