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 independent authors at any one time. This allows JLP's publisher to give a personal touch to each project with a focus on quality and not quantity.

Joyful Life Publishing (JLP) is here when our family of diversified and multi-genre independent authors need us to provide support 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.

The JLP proprietary method transforms writers who dream of being a published author into being a published independent author. From the first inspired thought to the bookshelf, our 9-Step Method is the premier step-by-step 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.
