The Joyful Life Publishing Promise

Quality not Quantity

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

Respect & Dignity

Joyful Life Publishing (JLP) is here when authors need us to provide support with no sales pressure or misleading promises. With JLP, you will never be treated like a number. However, you will always be treated with the respect and dignity you deserve.

With JLP, It's All About Empowerment

Empowerment is defined as the process of gaining the knowledge, skill and confidence that enables and prepares people to take initiatives, make important decisions, complete difficult tasks, achieve goals and solve complex problems.


With JLP, authors are empowered to grow with the wisdom, skills and confidence needed to initiate and realize their purpose of being a published author. 


In fact, empowerment is so important to JLP that our publisher wrote the book on it.

It's Your Book, with JLP You Keep Creative Control

Creative control is the ability of authors to make the final decisions about the content, style and presentation of their books. It is essential for authors to maintain creative control over their work since it allows them to express their artistic vision while ensuring that their publication is presented in the way they intended. With JLP, our authors keep creative control.
