Your Wisdom:
Forever in Print.

Let’s write a world-changing book together.

You’re The World’s Best Kept Secret.

Somewhere deep inside you, there’s a burning desire to write your first book. Not just ANY book — a stellar, well-written book that authentically represents the humble genius that is you.

About World Changing Books
You procrastinate because you’re unsure of where it will lead or where to even start.

Even if you muster the courage to begin, you simply don’t know where to turn or who to trust.

Countless “book experts” offer to write and publish your book, but you’re just not confident in their ability to create a book that you’ll be proud of — one that lives up to your reputation.

Your family, friends, and peers constantly pressure you to write a book. But it feels nearly impossible to fit it into your already hectic schedule.

You might even have convinced yourself that your book isn’t a priority right now.

We’re here to tell you, now more than ever, the world needs your book.

The World Doesn’t Need Another Vanity Book.

While the self-publishing book industry has convinced millions of people that a book is one big business card or a platform to tell your story, most self-published books languish in a stack in someone’s closet, because the author doesn’t have the time, resources, or knowledge of how to market and sell them.

Too often, the outcome is only the creation of another book… that no one reads.

And a book can’t change the world if no one reads it.

The Generational Impact Of Trees

The Sapling Program Image

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

— Nelson Henderson

Trees are essential to life on earth. They clean the air we breathe, protect us from natural disasters, and provide homes and food sources for many species.

Each year, 15 billion trees are cut down. In the U.S. alone, 32 million trees are required to print 2 billion books. And up to 5 trees worth of paper are required just for one author who sells a thousand books.

In collaboration with National Forest Foundation’s Sapling Program, 2% of our gross profits will go to replanting trees.
