Diamond Mountain Press

A Boutique Publishing House for Brilliant People who have Neuro-Diverse Brains

The Approach

At Diamond Mountain Press, we understand brilliant creative people whose brains won't (can't) do what it takes to self-publish your story.

That's why we are here. To help you envision, organize, strategize, prioritize, break things down into small bites, manage time, keep you on track, help you write, edit, design and publish in a way that works for you, and your gifted but different brain. We also know the pitfalls: distraction, procrastination, avoidance, and the all too common, imposter syndrome.

Most publishing paths assume a linear brain, a standard timeline, and a one-size process. We assume none of that — so we build the path around you and your unique gifts and challenges, instead.

Getting words on a page isn't the hard part. Writing a genuinely good book — one with a structure that holds, a voice that's yours, and a story worth finishing — takes real time and real craft. And even a great manuscript doesn't sell itself.

Your Reason Shapes Your Strategy

Path 1 — The Memoir

You want to tell your story, fully and honestly, for its own sake. Success looks like a book you're proud to hand someone — the strategy is built around your voice and your legacy, not a bestseller list.

Path 2 — The Credibility Book

You're a coach, healer, consultant, or professional, and the book is your calling card — proof of expertise that opens doors, wins clients, and supports the practice you've already built. Success looks like leads, speaking invitations, and authority.
