| Information about the press: | Purple Books Publishing was founded in 2010 by Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a well established published author, speaker, and academic. Her passion is to publish books that enhance diversity in general and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally experiences in particular. The philosophy of Purple Books Publishing is to actively engage our authors as part of the publishing team so that their excellent work and our company are known as one. As a team, we support each other’s work in addition to our own, each of us offering writing and marketing support to one another. We’re more of a collective than a business but we take the business of publishing quality work very seriously. You – our LGBT and ally readers – deserve it. |
| What type of submissions you are looking for: | Purple Books Publishing, a lesbian owned business, is committed to producing quality literature through a variety of formats. Our authors are lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and our smart supportive allies. Our books offer LGBT lived experiences, history, and scholarly research for and about our communities. |
| Information on Suggestions on Submitting: | Purple Books Publishing staff and authors have an intense passion for our work and our books, and we want authors on our team who are committed to their own success as well as the success of Purple Books. To be considered for publication by Purple Books, we need the following: * A 1-2 paragraph synopsis of your work * Your bio or resume specifying credentials and publication credits, if any * A complete table of contents and an estimated number of words and pages * Two sample chapters but not the first chapter * When will your finished work be available for us * A description of the intended audience * A brief statement on why you think your book is important * A list of similar titles and how you think your book differs |

October 27, 2015 at 2:12 pmI have a novel about an abused ten year old and her struggle to grow up in the shadow of her adoptive Cosa Nostra family. Would you consider her story? 73,000 words.

December 9, 2015 at 9:37 pmI’m looking to publish my first book, I am very hesitant due to feeling as if I would be exposing people or places for actions that the general public already think about when you mention the gay life style. Even though I’m unsure this is my passion . I’m not sure where to start…
