About Chimayo Press

We are Chimayo Press, an independent educational publishing company based in Los Angeles. Since 2005, we’ve been committed to publishing niche books that create compelling conversations, deepen relationships, and celebrate the human spirit.

Compelling Conversations: Questions & Quotations on Timeless Topics is in use by English Language Learners in over 40 countries. Originally designed for community college students (ages 18-87!), the textbook has been adopted by American adult schools, international high schools, English language schools and intensive English language programs, university ESL programs, and conversation clubs.

Our newest title, Compelling Conversations: Questions & Quotations for Advanced Vietnamese English Language Learners provides culturally relevant exercises, text and photos. Chimayo Press plans to release additional specialized editions of Compelling Conversations for Japan, Korea, Israel, Mexico, and Business Professionals.
