About Us

Our Story

Connecting Bridges Publishing was born from a simple yet powerful belief: stories have the extraordinary ability to connect us across cultural divides, challenge our assumptions, and expand our understanding of the world and each other. In a world that often feels increasingly divided, we recognized an urgent need for authentic voices that could speak truth to experience, bridge cultural gaps, and foster genuine dialogue. We founded Connecting Bridges Publishing to be that platform, a space where diverse perspectives aren't just welcomed, they're celebrated.

​

Our Mission

At Connecting Bridges Publishing, we are passionate about building connections between people and cultures through the power of storytelling. We believe that by sharing stories, ideas, perspectives, and experiences, we can foster empathy, understanding, and respect. Our goal is to provide a platform for writers to share their stories with the world, and to help readers discover new voices and perspectives from around the globe. We believe that everyone has a story to tell and that every story has the power to build bridges between people and cultures.

What Makes Us Different

We Prioritize Authentic Voices
We're committed to publishing works that reflect genuine experiences and perspectives, especially from communities whose stories have been historically underrepresented in mainstream publishing.

​

We Build Community, Not Just Catalogs
Publishing books is just the beginning. We create spaces for meaningful dialogue between authors and readers through book clubs, author events, workshops, and online discussions.

​

We Champion Difficult Conversations
We don't shy away from complex topics. Instead, we provide a platform for nuanced, thoughtful exploration of cultural identity, social issues, and the human experience in all its complexity.

​

We're In It for the Long Haul
We build lasting relationships with our authors, supporting their careers and amplifying their voices beyond a single publication.

​

Our Values

Authenticity
We publish real stories from real people. No performative allyship, no cultural tourism, just genuine voices sharing genuine experiences.

​

Diversity & Inclusion
We actively seek out and amplify voices from marginalized communities, ensuring our catalog reflects the beautiful diversity of human experience.

​

Integrity
We treat our authors as partners, not transactions. Fair contracts, transparent processes, and honest communication are non-negotiable.

​

Quality
Every book we publish receives meticulous editorial attention and professional design, because every story deserves to be told beautifully.

​

Impact
We measure success not just in sales, but in the conversations we spark, the minds we open, and the bridges we build.

​

Our Vision

We envision a world where diverse stories are accessible to all readers, where cultural curiosity replaces cultural ignorance, and where empathy triumphs over prejudice. Through our publishing work, we're creating a library of human experience, one story at a time that will serve as a bridge for generations to come. We see Connecting Bridges Publishing growing into a recognized leader in multicultural publishing, known for discovering powerful new voices and facilitating meaningful cultural exchange through literature.

​

Our Current Focus

Our inaugural publication, "Talking to Black People: An Exploration of Black Culture & Everything You Wish You Knew," exemplifies our commitment to facilitating open, honest cultural dialogue. This book creates space for questions, understanding, and genuine connection, exactly what we believe publishing should do.

As we grow, we're actively seeking manuscripts that:

• Explore cultural identity and experience

• Challenge stereotypes and assumptions

• Facilitate cross-cultural understanding

• Amplify marginalized voices

• Tell stories that matter​
