Our Mission

Brille Petit aims to awaken in our readers, particularly the youth, a desire to learn and to read local literary works that entertain and enrich minds, and to provide publishing opportunities for untold tales written by Filipino authors.

MILESTONES

2013

On its fourth year as an educational publisher, Brilliant Creations Publishing, Inc. published a picture book sharing the life and success of one of its founders to celebrate her 65th birthday. “Teacher Vicky” became the company’s first attempt at a storybook production.

2016

Brilliant Creations officially established its literary imprint, Brille Petit, focusing on the production of illustrated storybooks and literary anthologies for readers of all ages. Its first picture book, “Happy Whiskers’ Day” by Anj CP, was launched at the Manila International Book Fair. In the same year, Brille Petit published “Love Talaga: Poems on Love and Other Mushy, Feely Stuff,” its first anthology of love poems.

2017

Brille Petit released a series of fractured fairy tales, starting with “Cinderspectarella,” a humorous re-telling of the classic fairy tale, “Cinderella.” This was followed by “The Princess and the Frog Allergies” and “Sleepless Beauty.”

2019

Brille Petit published its first creative nonfiction anthology, 50 Fun, Fierce and Fabulous Filipinas—the imprint’s biggest collaborative project yet, with fifteen contributors fleshing out the lives of fifty empowering Filipinas in short biographical narratives.

2021

In spite of the pandemic, Brille Petit saw its busiest year yet with significant breakthroughs for the imprint, including the publication of its first story book in Filipino, “Ang Alaga,” by Katrina Canong-Senosin. In October, the National Book Development Board brought 50 Fun, Fierce, and Fabulous Filipinas to Germany for its first international engagement at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Brille Petit also took part in NBDB’s Book Nook Project in November to showcase its published titles in remote areas all over the country.
