The world is full of stories waiting to be told—real human experiences that change lives, challenge perceptions, or deeply entertain in ways that resonate deeply with an audience.
Yet so many of these stories never see the light of day.
Mainstream publishing, for all its influence and reach, often feels like an exclusive club. It has its gatekeepers and an unwritten set of rules about who gains entry and who doesn’t. If you’re deemed ‘too old’, or if your cultural or social background doesn’t align with a certain mould, you’re less likely to be heard.
If you lack qualifications or-even now, as we approach 2025, connections, the odds are stacked against you.
It’s a system that, frankly, discriminates.
Having written or co-written 31 books, I’ve seen this imbalance first-hand. I’ve heard from aspiring authors whose voices have been dismissed, ignored for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of their work.
Now I’ve reached a point where I can no longer simply observe.
I must act.
From Poacher to Gamekeeper
Storytelling has been my life.
From shaping narratives to finding the right words that capture the essence of a tale, writing is my craft, my passion, and my livelihood. But now, it’s time to turn the page—a new chapter as a publisher; from ‘poacher to gamekeeper,’ as the saying goes.
It’s not just about starting a business; it’s about starting a movement; a movement to amplify voices and expand narratives.
I want to create a space where voices that have been overlooked—dismissed by the industry’s narrow lens—can finally be heard.
Stories deserve an audience. And storytellers deserve a fair chance to share them.
Yes, I’m entering this world with little experience in publishing itself. But I’ve spent years immersed in its heart-the writer’s side. I know the struggle, the triumphs, and the relentless passion it takes to create something meaningful.
That understanding, I believe, is invaluable.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about me or the books we’ll create.
It’s about breaking barriers, redefining ‘worth’ in publishing, and proving that stories belong to everyone.
They transcend class, culture or connections.
They belong to humanity.
Starting this journey won’t be easy. I’ll need help—financial backing, advice from seasoned professionals, and the support of people who believe in this mission as much as I do.
It’s daunting yes, but it’s also exhilarating.
A Call to Action
If this vision speaks to you, let’s connect.
Whether you’re a writer with a story to tell, an investor or an advocate for change, your voice matters.
I’d love to hear from you.
This isn’t ‘just’ a publishing business.
It’s a platform for voices that have been silenced for far too long. It’s a chance to turn the page on the old, exclusionary ways of doing things and write a new chapter—one where everyone has a place.
Together, let’s give every story the voice it deserves.
