What is Regalo Press?

Regalo Press, distributed by Simon & Schuster, unites philanthropy with the business of book publishing by making a donation to a charity of the author's choice on every deal. Regalo was launched in 2022 by publishing veteran Gretchen Young, who has acquired and edited numerous award winners and scores of New York Times bestsellers. Her eye for books that resonate with readers is crucial to developing works under the imprint's broad genre focus that includes pop-culture, biography, sports, memoir, social justice, business, female empowerment, self-help and fiction.



"It is our aim to inspire others to give by showing that it can be integrated into the way any industry functions, and to propel our operations toward this end without ever sacrificing the quality of what we publish. Our guiding principle is that the only thing better than creating a great book is harnessing that greatness in the service of others."



Support Our Mission


A vital part of Regalo’s mission is to make a monetary donation to a charity of the author’s choice with every book we publish. Recently, we established the Regalo Press Giving Fund, a 501(c)(3) to further support that mission. Your contribution helps us provide these wonderful charities with some much neded support.
