Legacy Book Press Full traditional publisher of personal stories told via non-fiction, fictionalized, and/or poetic formats. Good writing deserves to be read.

There is a phenomenon that occurs when a collection comes together—whether it be the assemblage of works from one individual or many. We find that the best titles to these collections emerge from within them and are found only after assembly has begun. As the work moves on to the designer who carries on the tradition of typeface, cover design, and paginates fixed words on antique paper, a writer offers up the creative work to the reader.

Our Story

My passion for helping people say what they wanted to say began in 1989 when my not quite two-year-old cousin passed away when she was hit by a car while my aunt was pushing her in her stroller and I wrote a poem for the funeral that numerous people told me put into words what they were feeling but couldn't articulate.

This passion lay hidden for several years while I graduated from college, got married, and had kids. It was reignited around 2012 while self-reflecting in a leadership class for my MBA degree. At that time, I adopted my alter-ego of Wordsy Woman, helping people with editing and eventually publishing.

In late 2018, I got the idea to start a new press to help people publish their legacy stories, whether non-fiction or fiction. It seemed like a natural fit, so Legacy Book Press was born.
