[[File:Pp.png|thumb|Paradise Press logo]]'''Paradise Press''' is a British gay and lesbian publishing company, devoted to "fine writing by lesbians and gay men".

It is the imprint of GASPS ([[Gay Authors Self-Publishing Society]]), a publishing collective that produces a wide range of literature by lesbians and gay men.
Authors submit their books to the collective; if the book is approved, the author can then join the collective and benefit from and contribute to Paradise Press services.
Paradise Press was founded in 1999 and grew out of [[Gay Authors Workshop]].

The majority of the Paradise Press output has been fiction and poetry, plus a small number of autobiographies. The non-fiction list includes ''[[Diverse Performances]]'' by [[David Haldane Lawrence]] and ''[[Amiable Warriors]]'' by [[Peter Scott-Presland]].
