About Green Carnation Press

---

Green Carnation Press was founded on the belief that diverse representation in literature has the power to inspire, heal, and create lasting change. We are dedicated to amplifying the voices of 2SLGBTQ+ authors whose stories celebrate the richness, resilience, and diversity of our communities. By publishing authentic, thought-provoking, and engaging books, we strive to ensure that readers of all ages can see themselves reflected in the stories they read, while inviting others to experience perspectives beyond their own.

Our name honours the Green Carnation, a symbol with deep roots in 2SLGBTQ+ history. Popularized in the late nineteenth century through the literary and artistic circles associated with Oscar Wilde, the green carnation became a quiet emblem of individuality, creativity, and solidarity among those whose identities could not always be expressed openly. Though its meaning has evolved, it continues to represent the enduring spirit of authenticity, courage, and self-expression.

At Green Carnation Press, we carry that legacy forward by championing stories that foster understanding, celebrate identity, and build connections across communities. We believe that every story has the power to transform lives, and every voice deserves the opportunity to be heard.

Our mission goes beyond simply publishing books. We are dedicated to cultivating accomplished author portfolios and fostering a community of inspired writers.

Green Carnation Press is a non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting our authors. We rely on donations and grants to cover our publishing expenses, allowing us to ensure our authors receive improved royalties.  

Your support means the world to us and makes a real difference in the lives of our talented writers. Thank you for considering contributing to our cause; publishing content that not only engages but also informs your audience.
