At JWB, we publish through twitter, blogs, websites, books and more. We collaboratively help people bring their stories to the public through publishing. Selling books and monetizing social media enables our clients to do more of what they want to do.
Just Write Books publishes: a few books each year, several websites and social media posts for authors, business owners and others. At Just Write we believe in a collaborative process whether we are publishing tweets, blogs or books. Working together with authors/clients, we work to help the author of any publication achieve his/her goals.
About books. We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts. If you have a book that you think fits with our theme of Maine authors, Maine books and Maine stories; call or email to begin a conversation. Our current schedule is "booked" through 2016. We will begin considering new submissions (after writer/publisher contact) June 2016.
About websites. Please contact us and see if we can help you publish a website that advertises your business, book or organization. Co-creating is a large part of what we do.
Social media. We would be happy to sit down and develop a social media plan for your business, book or organization.

New Kindle project for Just Write Books
Many of our titles are published as Kindle books. During our last website redesign, we inadvertently dropped the links to our titles' Kindle buying pages. We are currently working to fix that. We're also reviewing our poetry books and considering each to be offered as an ebook. Watch for that here. We'll notify you about the status of the JWB Kindle Poetry Project.
Everyone has a story ~ Some are hauntingly poignant
Christa Meiners Detroy started writing fourteen years ago with an essay about her long-ago neighbor Frau Abraham, as part of her honors project at Bowdoin College. She came to Just Write Books and after editing, editing we have designed the cover and interior text pages. The book is available in our online bookstore and at local bookstores. We are currently scheduling author talks, book signings and interviews.

The Third Century of the First Parish Church
We're so happy to be helping people get their stories to readers. Currently, we are working with Brunswick's First Parish Church on its The Third Century. One hundred years of photos and stories written in a compelling narrative by William K. Millar Jr. with editors Elizabeth Newman and Mildred Jones, this book will be a great addition to our area's historical libraries. |
A Wish to Build a Dream On
by Robert M. Chute Maybe my favorite poet, Robert M. Chute has asked us to publish his latest book of poems. We are enjoying the reading. We'll place Robert's own illustrations with a few photographs from elsewhere to create his latest book of poems. |
