About Us

While my friends were happily reading Judy Blume and Thomas Rockwell, I was voraciously reading full length novels by the likes of Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Dean Koontz. Maybe not the best choices for an impressionable pre-teen, but I found them to be so much more interesting than books written for my age.

My children followed this passion of reading, and as they also started moving toward full length novels in 3rd grade, I realized there really weren’t a lot of choices for young advanced readers.

In looking for more options, I began beta-reading and editing science fiction and fantasy manuscripts, and discovered I had a talent of finding continuity and plausibility errors. As my children started leaving the nest, I had time to pursue my passion of writing, but found self publishing a daunting task, especially for children and YA books.

So, I started reaching out to others in a similar circumstance. With a few illustrators and authors by my side, we were focused on E-Publishing, but found there are many strong author/illustrators that are unable to find a voice in mainstream Children’s and Young Adult publishing. We decided to take the plunge, and Crimson Dragon Publishing took flight.
