Our goal isn’t to be the largest publisher; it’s to be the best at empowering independent authors to create professionally self-published books with minimal support. Thus, we only work with a few select independent authors at any one time. This allows JLP to give a personal touch to each project with a focus on quality and not quantity.

Joyful Life Publishing (JLP) serves independent authors who are seeking support and guidance on their literary journey of self-publishing with no sales pressure or misleading promises.
With JLP, you will never be treated like a number. But you will always be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve.

With JLP, independent authors are prepared and empowered to grow creatively with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to initiate and achieve their purpose of being an independent self-published author.
In fact, empowerment is so important to us at JLP that our founder, Jerry LePre, wrote the book (EMPOWER THE 'WRITE' ATTITUDE).

Creative control is the ability of authors to make the final decisions about the content and style for every aspect of their books. It is essential for authors to maintain control since it allows them to express their artistic vision while ensuring their book is done the way they intended. With JLP, our independent authors keep total control and ownership.

Independent authors who work with JLP retain all rights and full ownership of their literary work. Ownership not only ensures the authors' intellectual property is protected from unauthorized use; it also allows authors to determine how their books are used, reproduce, distributed and adapted without needing the permission of a publisher.

Independent authors who are self-published with the support of JLP receive 100% of their royalties paid to them directly from their print-on-demand (POD) partner. In addition, these authors purchase their self-published books directly from their POD partner for the cost of printing plus taxes and shipping.
(NO MARK UP FROM JLP)

JLP values our author clients' privacy and is committed to protecting their personal and professional information.
Thus, JLP will never sell any of our authors' account information to a third party.
Furthermore, any form of communication between JLP and its independent authors are held in strict confidence.

The JLP proprietary method transforms writers who dream of being a published author into being a self-published independent author. From the first inspired thought to the bookshelf, our 9-Step Method is the premier guide to self-publishing.
The ultimate success of your book not only depends on your skill as a writer; it also requires selecting the right team of skilled professionals to support, guide and empower you on your literary journey to self-publish.
