Why Word Journey Publishing?
WJP: Personalized Publishing Services
Welcome to WJP, a small, independent, woman-owned company dedicated to the art of publishing. My name is Peggy, and I am passionate about helping authors bring their manuscripts to life. When you choose WJP, you receive my undivided attention from start to finish.
Personalized Attention
At WJP, you work directly with me. I handle your manuscript, ensuring a seamless process without the hassle of being passed between multiple contacts. You will always have direct access to me, providing a consistent and reliable experience.
My Passion
Writing fuels my spirit and brings me immense joy and enthusiasm. It allows me to embark on incredible journeys and achieve anything I set my mind. Writing is not just my profession; it is my ultimate passion.
What to Expect
The publishing process is generally straightforward, though occasional challenges may arise. Rest assured, I will keep you updated every step of the way, and you will always have the final say. It’s your book, and you are in control. While I will provide guidance and suggestions, the ultimate decisions are yours.
Your Success
I am committed to your success and will support you throughout the process. While publishing a book requires hard work and dedication, I will help you navigate the path to ensure your efforts are focused in the right direction. Your success is my success, and I am here to help you achieve excellence.
Guidelines for Submission
Please adhere to the following guidelines when submitting a request for publication:
First and foremost, email me with your name, details of what type of book you have, page number, and whether you are looking for a specific date to be finished. Then, I’ll respond, and we can move forward if this fit works for both of us.
Include your full name and book title in the subject line of the email.
In the email body, specify the type of book (e.g., novel, children’s book, cookbook) and mention which services you are interested in.
Do not include pictures or artwork in the initial email.
Ensure your manuscript is complete before contacting me.
Important Notes
I do not pre-read manuscripts.
Do not send your manuscript or attachments via email. Emails with attachments will be deleted without review to prevent viruses.
Please allow up to 10 days for a response, as I manage all inquiries personally. As I mentioned above, I am a lone wolf here.
Accepted Genres
WJP accepts a variety of genres, including mystery, thrillers, horror, romance, poetry, cookbooks, herbal, family projects, children’s books, novellas, memoirs, coloring books, LGBTQ+, and short stories.
Please note that WJP does not work with content related to Satanic themes.
Crucial Editing
Editing is essential for your book’s success and reputation. It must be done by a professional editor, not a friend or family member. Investing in professional editing is the best decision you can make for your book. WJP will not publish poorly edited manuscripts, as our reputations are at stake.
Imagine picking up a book in a bookstore only to find spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Despite the appealing cover and intriguing title, you would likely put it back on the shelf. Don’t let this happen to your book. Ensure it is professionally edited for the best chance of success.
Editing Services
I provide editing services exclusively for children’s books less than 50 pages long. Please refer to the “Meet the Team” page for editor recommendations for other editing needs. Please note that editing services are not included in any of the prices mentioned; this is a separate and essential cost.
