About Us

Plenary Publishing is an independent publisher of multicultural fiction and non-fiction titles. We launched in 2008 with a mission to publish books that depict the depth and beauty of the American cultural experience because we saw a void in the publishing industry for books by writers of color, or featuring diverse and rich characters who are not written in the same one-dimensional template.

As we’ve evolved in this ever-changing digital landscape, we’ve seen the publishing world shift on its axis, and we’re actively embracing the industry’s much-needed overhaul. But as the industry changes, our commitment to publishing quality works has not, and we will continue to be aggressive in our goal to enhance the perception of people of color, arm our communities with information and inspiration, and produce books that show how truly rich our lives are, and can be.

So here’s where we are: we’re focusing on softcover and digital titles, and we’re increasing our efforts to educate aspiring writers, and to partner with artists in other disciplines. We’ll be expanding our titles across different platforms, and we’ll be on the road more as we showcase our writers and connect with book clubs and readers.
