Out of difficulty, beauty. Out of heartache, eloquence.What happens when we write about hard things?
These are the things that drive us at Purple Aardvark. We believe that there is talent and inspiration to be found all around, and we celebrate creativity and new voices. We’re passionate about the work we produce and would love to discuss whether your next project is a good fit! Email us at purpleaardvarkpub@gmail.com to find out how we can collaborate.
Our Vision
Purple represents royalty—and let's face it, we're ordinary people. But we have seen the ability of stories to inspire, educate, and entertain. Our vision is to create a world where everyone has access to great literature, regardless of their background or geography or proximity to the publishing world. And where all voices are heard.
Our First Anthology
As a team of professionals with diverse backgrounds who are committed to showcasing the enormous talent of Indiana writers, we are giddy about our first-ever anthology, which released in March 2026.
Support Our Work
We are traditionally published, self-published, and unpublished writers working together to encourage and promote writers at all stages of their careers. As writers, readers, and book lovers who share a passion for the written word, we're mostly donating our time and talents, but would be grateful for your support to help cover out-of-pocket costs.
