Welcome to the brand-new Just Write Books! As we take our first steps on our new journey together, let's talk about the ways we're ready to help you get your work into the world.

Let's start at the beginning. I hear it's a very good place to start. 

And as the world seems to slow to a crawl due to the global pandemic we’ve found ourselves thrust into, we hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy, and finding what you need to navigate these trying times. And it’s into these trying times, when we’re isolated in our homes, that we’re looking for ways to keep busy and be productive with our time. To which, you might be thinking… why don’t I finish that book I’ve always been meaning to write? And here at Just Write Books, we’re here to tell you, yes, you most certainly can. 
​In our new capacity offering writing consulting services, we’re here to help you get your book written, edited, published, and read by the audience that wants to hear what you have to say. Through the High Point Publishing System, we help writers hone their voice, sharpen their talents, focus their skills, and achieve their writing goals. 

​The first step in that process is a simple one, and that is to find out if your book is worth publishing in the first place. Because writing is a process not for the faint of heart; it requires a considerable time commitment and a large degree of patience. So, before you set out on your journey of publication, you should ask yourself: Is my book worth publishing?

That’s the backbone of our questionnaire, which can be found here. As you fill this out, you’ll break down the basics of your book, getting into the meat of who wants to read it, why they want to read it, what subjects your book discusses, and start the process of finding the best way for it to reach its intended audience. 
Once we receive your answers, we can begin a conversation about the best way you can achieve your writing goals, using the information you’ve provided. From there we can discuss editing and publishing, although that’s a few steps down the line.

So, to all aspiring writers, welcome! We’re looking forward to receiving your works and we’ll talk with you soon!

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author. 
Tom Seymour, author of Wild Plants of Maine and many other titles.
I just had these decals made [with my logo]. Every day I look at the logo you created from my drawn ideas, I smile. It is strong and me. Thank you.
