Chimayo Press

Chimayo Press is an independent educational publishing company committed to producing niche books that create compelling conversations, deepen relationships and celebrate the human spirit. We launched in 2005 with one advanced level English as a Second Language (ESL) title – Compelling Conversations: Questions and Quotations on Timeless Topics – from authors Eric H. Roth and Toni Aberson. This fluency-focused ELT textbook has blossomed into series meeting the varying needs of English language learners and their teachers in over 50 countries. Two new additions to the Compelling Conversations series include a second edition of Compelling Conversations – Vietnam, and Compelling Conversations for Fundraisers, the first in a planned series of books tailored for native speakers in the workplace. We recently published Creating Compelling Conversations: Reproducible Search and Share Activities for English Teachers (2019). More information on each title is available at ChimayoPress.com. Along the way, we’ve also met exceptional authors. In 2011, Chimayo Press expanded to include works of fiction and is the exclusive publisher of Star Boy and Bronco Billy (eBook) by writer/producer Dennis E. Hackin. In 2014, Hackin published Android Roy, a futuristic novel featuring the world’s first android homicide detective. We have also published Com Chimayo Press is named for our amazingly communicative, talented and loving first border collie. We met him soon after a visit to the inspirational New Mexico town.
