PV&J Media | Storytelling Beyond the Page
How it started
PV&J Media started as the home for the P&V Are Kittens series. As that project grew, we discovered a community of people full of beautiful book ideas. From blank page to print, we are a wildly creative partner and a startup mindset.
Genres We Publish
PV&J Media publishes projects with origin stories that make us lean in. We love writing rooted in a family story or personal artifact Delight us with what delights you.Generally, those things fall into these genres: picture books, middle grade and young adult fiction, historical fiction, and non-fiction (including local history, genealogy, and cookbooks).
Beyond the Page
We love to extend the reader's time beyond the page. For young readers especially, extended time with multiple engagement points helps grow attentiveness. What does it look like? A paper doll set, a character dress-up game, a Minecraft build, or something else we haven't thought of yet.
Real Art, Real Business
Our projects feature traditional and digital art made by real people.Our practices are built on the foundations of startup principles.
