Wordeee is a new kind of movement redefining and reimagining publishing.  A leading, next-generation Publishing and Media Company, we believe every extraordinary idea deserves the opportunity to change the world. It's the place where serious, established, and emerging writers can improve their craft, get published, find community, sell books, build an audience, and grow into their full potential is our mission. We help creators transform words into legacy. 

Wordeee believes words are the world's most valuable renewable resource. Every book, speech, article, poem, screenplay, and idea has the potential to be something greater. We exist to restore the value of words by giving exceptional writers the tools, platform, community, and opportunities they need to create lives far beyond the printed page. No meaningful work is limited by outdated publishing models.

You know it in your heart.

You feel it in your bones.

You’re a writer.

And, there’s the rub.

Being a writer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

You know you could impact the world...educating, entertaining, and compelling your readers...and making a real difference with your words.

But first, you have to break through.

And if you’ve tried that before, odds are you have a horror story...or six.

Is a world where it takes a lot more than talent to get that big break the sad reality? Most talented authors are never discovered.

Perhaps you’re one of them.

If so, have you met Wordeee?

Wordeee is a new kind of publishing platform, helping the world’s next great authors meet their full potential.

Thanks to a combination of big publishing expertise, cutting-edge, collaborative technology, and unlimited support and guidance, Wordeee transforms talented writers into known authors. Are you ready to invest in your dream?

The results?

Your book. Published.

Your talent. Recognized.

Your dream. Fulfilled.

If you are reading this, chances are you are someone for whom writing is not a side hustle—it's a calling. You write because you have something to say, something worth wrestling onto the page, something that will not leave you alone until it is shaped into meaning.

At Wordeee, we are building a community around that very commitment.
Not the chase for trends.
Not shortcuts.
Not the false promise of overnight success.

We exist for writers who care about the work.

For writers who revise because excellence requires it.
For writers who know that stories can change people, and that sentences deserve to be crafted, not rushed.
For writers who refuse to compromise the integrity of their voice for algorithms, popularity, or empty metrics.

Too often, publishing is reduced to a numbers game—clicks, sales, speed.
But we believe that literature still matters.
We believe that the world is shaped by the people who take the time to think deeply and write honestly.
And we believe that authors who carry that seriousness deserve a publishing partner who honors their craft.

If you are committed to producing work with purpose, discipline, and passion, we would be honored to stand with you.
Our mission is simple: to uplift the voices of writers who are driven by meaning, not mere monetization. If that sounds like you, then you’ve found your people.

Let’s create something lasting—something that will outlive the hype cycles and speak to readers who hunger for more.

With respect for the work and those who do it,

Our publishing arm sets high standards for the books we select to publish. We have to be picky because, as a hybrid publisher providing bespoke support to each of our authors, we want to make sure the manuscripts we select to publish each year are of the highest quality for our tribe. The authors we tend to choose show a talent for writing and are building careers as writers. They’re coachable and willing to take criticism from our team of seasoned editors and coaches to turn their manuscript into a thing of magic. They are willing to do whatever it takes to bring the absolute best representation of their work into the world.  Our authors are talented, scrappy, determined, and open. But what makes the experience of working with Wordeee so different is how we support our authors. Even the ones we don’t select to publish.

If you:

You have an incredible idea.

A breath-taking story…

A world-changing perspective…

Believe it deserves to be heard.

Considered the self-publishing route...

Tried to get a book traditionally published. Whew!  You know the journey ahead. It’s never as easy as they make it sound.

You can try to get an agent...and if you get anything less than a dozen rejections, consider yourself lucky.

YET, YOU KNOW WRITING IS YOUR SUPERPOWER.

The Wordeee world is not just a hybrid publishing platform, it is a total ecosystem. Though our initial touchpoint is the written word, we look for works that can be transformed into any form: 

Books >> Feature Films>> Documentaries>> Theater >> Music and many other types of intellectual property.

Why not your work? 

Absolutely. But the work you submit to Wordeee must be free and unencumbered. That means it must not be signed to any other publisher or under contract with an agent unless you terminate such a contract.  More and more we see traditionally published authors who have defected turn to Wordeee to regain control of their works.  For self-published authors, our guidance to quality work is second to none and our production, distribution, and original marketing ideas are priceless.

Simple: bad books are bad for the world. 

• Unlike Vanity Publishing, where you pay your money and you‘re on your own, Wordeee combines real-world experience with over 50 years of publishing and media expertise with collaborative technology, delivering unparalleled support and guidance.
• Unlike publishing on Amazon, where your distribution becomes limited and book lost in translation, Wordeee is a community where talented writers become recognized authors
• Unlike self-publishing, where you spend more money than you earn…and believe us, you will. Wordeee's integrated services assure you the quality work you expect from a publisher.
• Unlike self-publishing, which typically ends up an expense, Wordeee's turn-key approach gives the world access to your work
• Unlike self-publishing, which...well let’s say you get what you pay for...Wordeee's unparalleled service will allow you to rest easy.
• Unlike big publishing houses,  whose barriers to entry are so high, Wordeee is accessible and our speed to process reassuring.

• An Author uploads their manuscript on the Wordeee platform under the tab publishing for evaluation. When they submit a manuscript to us for consideration, our team gets to work to determine if it’s ready or not quite ready for the Wordeee logo to appear on its spine.
• The manuscript is reviewed and evaluated by Wordeee editors and is either accepted or not.  Our selection process is rigorous. When a book is submitted, our editorial team assesses whether it meets our criteria or not. Good work with the potential for great impact and cross-platforming potential is our sweet spot. Because our editors’ time is valuable, and our submissions are numerous, we favor people who are committed to their craft. The $50 evaluation fee shows they are invested in themselves and pay for the time an editor spends reading the manuscript.  This fee is refunded when the author publishes with us. Evaluation can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks.
• If accepted for publication, the work goes through the process machine to determine its needs: editing, fact-checking, line editing, proofreading, layout, and design. The manuscript administrator sends pricing information. The Author accepts or rejects the Wordeee proposal. If they accept, they will be sent a Wordeee contract.  Thereafter, the production of their book begins.
• If we do not accept the manuscript, we send a detailed editorial letter telling them exactly why and exactly what the work needs to be improved. They may choose to work with the Wordeee team to get their manuscript up to par, or they can choose to complete this work themselves or with an outside editor. Our intention is to walk the path beside our authors, shepherding them along the journey to becoming published.
  If they work with an outside editor, they may submit the manuscript again but they will need to pay a new editorial fee as there is no guarantee that the work will be accepted after our team reviews it again.
• Upon acceptance and signing with Wordeee, the author is given permission to enter our super-powerful dashboard where they can begin engaging their audience with their Wordeee Authors’ Lounge and create custom content such as videos, live streaming, and establish general rapport with their tribe. The author can track the progress of their books, look at current stats on book sales, request royalty payments, view audience participation, and an array of other important data right from their author dashboard.
• We have a revolving publishing process, but a book will take approximately 6-8 months once the manuscript is fully completed so publication launch dates will also roll accordingly.

Your Wordeee Partners

The adage says, do what you love! We love authors and artists and the people who appreciate them.

As authors ourselves…we know how scary, lonely, and confidence-shaking the road to becoming an author of note can be. From writer’s block to the unknowns, myths, and misconceptions of the publishing world (not to mention the fear of rejection that creeps in all along the way), this journey isn’t for the faint of heart.

Ever since the world of big publishing has lost its relevance and vitality, there's been a lot of noise and confusion in the industry, and the voices that matter most are being crowded out. Independently published books are growing and so is the proliferation of really bad books. A growing non-traditional publishing market is a statement that change is needed and that authors need new quality options, especially in the ever-evolving digital and social media age.

The founders of Wordeee themselves are authors, readers, bookstore owners, television personalities, filmmakers, traditional publishing professionals, and technologists—so yes, they are artists, too! We have a panoramic view of the world of words from beginning to end and through its transformation. Wordeee is about redefining the future of book publishing on the notion that the ever-enlarging digital playground and global economy offers new, exciting opportunities for authors and readers. 

Wordeee founders know that ideas are the easy part of any project. We not only stand behind our big idea with actionable steps, we are ready and committed to the success of our authors on our game-changing book ecosystem. You’ve made an empowered decision to support yourself as you navigate this path and we are here to help.

In a future that is all about user-generated storytelling and content, Wordeee's open-ended system harnesses the power of the latest technologies to level the playing field for authors and artists to be promoted beyond their usual borders. 

Imagine, just imagine with us, one place where the world of words comes together for true connections, cultural exchanges, communication, and most of all to make words fun once again. Wordeee’s goals are to revitalize, socialize, and revolutionize the world of books, over multi-platforms. Another goal is to ensure that one of the most important life skills, literacy, continues to excite consumers. Our mission is to hold your space until you feel ready to fly…and to support you along the journey in every way.

Wordeee means electronic, entertainment, and engagement with words (the "eee" in Wordeee is a backronym for electronic, entertainment, and engagement). Remember, in the beginning, there was the word. We do not discriminate on word formats; we treat the world of words in all its forms of entertainment. The world to us is in the word.

Wordeee does not publiish any work written in AI at this time. 

Yes, we do, and anyone can be a Wordeee Ambassador. When someone signs up on the platform, they will get a unique code in their welcome e-mail which is forever linked to their account. They are encouraged to share this code with like-minded people looking to become authors. If someone they share the code publishes with Wordeee, they will get a referral fee of $100.  

Wordeee has full distribution capabilities to online bookstores such as Amazon, iBook, Google Play, and Kobo as well as Brick and Mortar through our distribution partner Ingram as well as through our own direct sales division and distribution center. Resellers can purchase directly from Wordeee.  We distribute to school and Library Markets through ES/COB and Smashwords.

Before you submit your work to any publisher or entity, be sure to copyright your work with the US Copyright Office. 

You own the copyright to all your works. Wordeee will publish your book, assign an ISBN and LCC number to all formats we publish — trade, hardcover, audio, or e-book.

Wordeee’s professional team will design and make the final decision on your book; however, with regard to cover design, layout, etc. Wordeee's design rights are not transferable and remain the property of Wordeee.

There are production and service-related costs when working with WORDEE.  however, every project is different.  We don't have a one-price-fits-all-all model.  Your project price will be determined by the services you need and will be presented to you along with the evaluation of your work.

Wordeee will outline this in the Author's contract, but you will get paid from the first book sold. Since you have no advance to pay back, nothing stands in the way of your success — the world will be your oyster.  Even better is the fact that from your lounge you can track your sales and release your accumulated royalties any time you wish with the click of a button.

If at any time you are dissatisfied with the production of your work, you should immediately reach out to Wordeee’s customer service. If a resolution cannot be reached, Wordeee will defer to the terms and agreement clause’s refund policy statement. For any further questions or a refund request, contact us here.
