Jewell Jordan Publishing LLC

Jewell Jordan Publishing LLC Jewell Jordan Publishing, LLC is an independent press founded in 2005. JJP chooses to embrace that reality. We welcome you on our collective journey!

The cultural, racial and ethnic diversity of America is a reality – a reality embraced by some and shunned by others. However, in so doing we note that where books are concerned, who writes them, what they are about, and the intended audience is much more homogeneous – the same – than our current racial, cultural and ethnic melting pot would suggest. We believe that America’s melting pot of writer

s is comprised of talented writers of every race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, socio-economic level and geographic location. We also believe that there is no one voice – opinion, thought, and idea – for a particular race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, socioeconomic level and geographic location. Our growth as a society is dependent upon all of those diverse voices, within and without each group, having an opportunity to be heard in fiction, nonfiction, essays, poetry, graphic novels, and other forms of written expression. Thus, JJP’s mission is to help change the current publishing landscape by publishing the works of the myriad of talented and diverse writers who inhabit the United States of America. In doing so, we hope to encourage a larger, more diverse reading audience that sees itself more frequently reflected in what we publish and what they read – that is, in books by, for and about America’s melting pot. Jewell Jordan Publishing, LLC is a small independent press founded in 2005. We published our first book, Color Him Father: Stories of Love and Rediscovery of Black Men, through our imprint, Kinship Press, in 2006. We have been away for a while; however, we have returned with an even greater commitment to publishing the best of America’s “melting pot”. We publish a wide variety of material, including fiction, essays, poetry and scholarly works — in traditional print and as e-books. In doing so, our mission is to embrace and cultivate quality writers and encourage and promote writing excellence. We believe there are great writer role models – some of whom we list below. We also believe there are wonderful writers whose voices have yet to be heard. We want to find those writers and match them with old and new audiences.

Which are you? We’re definitely both! #imobessed

Me walking into the bookstore after staying up all night to finish my last book.

Derived from Latin roots meaning “all” and “reading”, if you’re omnilegent then you’re either extremely well read and have a knowledge of a great amount of literature, or are absolutely addicted to reading everything that comes your way. If I could live forever it would be to read every book ever written. #wordoftheday

Today is the Summer Solstice. It is the first official day of summer and the longest day of the year. We highly suggest spending some time outside today. Maybe sit outside and read, go for a walk or head to a beach if one’s near by. Sunlight isn’t only good for plants, it’s beneficial for everything, including you. We hope you have a beautiful day and a wonderful summer! 🌞 🌊⛰️

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation that designated June 14 as Flag Day and on August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

How many times a day do you furiously type out a comment and then delete it or close the app? Asking for a friend. 😬

Embrace your strength and resilience. Every challenge you face only makes your inner light shine brighter. Stand tall and proud, your journey is a testament to your courage and determination. The world needs you to be you but not everyone will see that. That is ok. Keep being you and let your light illuminate the people and the world around you. #MayaAngelou #Inspiration #InnerStrength #Courage #Resilience

It’s not too late to celebrate National Donut Day. Go have some for dinner. You’ve earned it!

As the saying goes, you can't pour from an empty cup. In order to be able to care for others we must first care for ourselves. Too often we think it is the opposite but taking of yourself allows you to show up fully. For #WellnessWednesday here are a few simple ways that you can fill your cup.

If a book is being banned, you should read it.

Happy May the Fourth!
