Why Work with Fancy Pants?
Dr. G (that’s Dr. Kimberley Gordon) says: Producing a book is work! And it’s complicated and confusing. And then it’s not much fun.
When formatting our first book, I realized the credits page — the place where important official stuff like copyrights is displayed — needed a book imprint. That’s fancy talk for publisher. Although I wanted to publish my own books, the words “self published” on the credits page seemed like a rookie move to me.
I rolled up my sleeves, did my research, consulted some little kids, and launched Fancy Pants Publishing, LLC, for my imprint. Don’t let the happy purple color here confuse you — I got plenty of yucky purple bruises along the way. In 366 days time, The Little Jesus Chronicles were created and will continue to land on bookstore shelves through 2026.
If I could have found someone like me to help with this process, I’d have done it! Now I’m an old pro in a short amount of time.
Just for kicks, we created a little jingle for our Fancy Pants mascot (volume up!).

It was overwhelming! Gordon’s academic publishing experience helped her push through the mountains of red tape and manure. That same determination is what Fancy Pants provides to clients — the ability to push past the road bumps and complete the book.
