About US

Our Team

We turn down more books than we accept.

 

Publish Your Purpose has published nearly 300 books, and 70% of them have become bestsellers. We got there by being selective, not by publishing everything that comes through the door. Our manuscript review process exists so that when your book carries our name, it’s positioned to actually succeed, not just exist.

We’re a certified B Corporation, which means we’re independently verified and re-verified every three years on how we treat our authors, our team, and our community. This is a standard we have to keep earning.

Every author works with a dedicated project manager and a full team of editorial, design, and production specialists who’ve done this hundreds of times. You are never handed a template and left to figure it out. You keep your rights, your royalties, and your creative control throughout.

Founded by someone who’s done this herself.

Jenn T. Grace has written and published eight books of her own, including Publish Your Purpose, House on Fire, a memoir, and Promote Your Purpose, the book behind the framework we teach every author who works with us. She built PYP because she went through the publishing process and found the gap most authors fall into: not enough support to get it right, not enough control to get it done on their terms.

Built by someone who needed this to exist.

Jenn learned early in her career that being openly LGBTQ+ in a workplace could cost you everything. She made a promise that any company she led would be different. That promise is why 69% of our authors identify as women, 46% identify as LGBTQ+, and 24% are people of color. We’re proud of those numbers, and we’re actively working to grow every one of them.

The people behind your book.

The team below is our core staff. Behind them is a broader network of editors, designers, typesetters, and specialists we bring in project by project, matched to what your book actually needs.
