Violetear Default

Violetear Books represents hope, resilience, and the magic of stories. My mission is to give flight to underrepresented voices and foster a deeper understanding of one another through the power of storytelling.

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

I like to combine humor and my love of reading to create content focused on education, social justice, and all things bookish! In 2022 I was chosen as a TikTok LGBTQ+ Trailblazer, a title awarded by TikTok to only 12 creators in the U.S. for their work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Forbes, Rolling Stone, Teen Vogue, Queerty, Spectrum News, NBC News, Oprah Daily, LA Magazine & more. When I am not busy reading and making content about books, I work in-house for an ad agency, creating content for some of the most popular brands on social media.
