Creative Storytelling Across Platforms

Blue Quartz Media & Publications is an independent publishing house dedicated to producing impactful digital and print content across a diverse range of genres—including nonfiction, academic, artistic, and culturally relevant works. Based in Boulder, Colorado, we are passionate about amplifying original voices and fostering thoughtful storytelling. Our mission is to create a space for meaningful content that is creatively presented to galvanize connection, convey depth, and honor authenticity.

Our mission is to create space for meaningful content—carefully crafted, creatively presented, and accessible to readers who value depth, diversity, and authenticity. Whether through rigorous academic research, evocative artistic expression, or timely journalistic endeavors, we strive to ensure that every publication embodies integrity and excellence. Serving our local Boulder community and reaching audiences worldwide, Blue Quartz Media & Publications enriches the landscape of independent media through education, engagement, and creativity.

Founded in 2014, Blue Quartz Media & Publications (BQMP) began its journey with Ecology Magazine: Colorado’s Journal of Natural Science, a collaborative effort bringing together academics, scientists, and writers to produce a publication dedicated to raising environmental awareness and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. This flagship magazine set the foundation for BQMP’s commitment to thoughtful, impactful content.

Since then, we have grown significantly, broadening our reach to include a diverse portfolio of publications and digital platforms. Our expanding network now features titles such as The Rocky Mountain Gardener, which inspires and educates gardening enthusiasts; the Boulder County News Network, delivering timely, community-focused journalism; and Mountain Starfish, a creative outlet celebrating local culture and artistry. Through these varied projects, BQMP continues to nurture informed communities and support voices that matter—always with an eye toward innovation, quality, and meaningful engagement.
