The vision of Wordwhipper Press is:
- To shine a light on creative storytelling, regardless of genre.
- To promote social and environmental justice, and literacy.
- To be of service to the writing community and to the larger world.
- To expand minds and open hearts, to reassert creative human potential.
To accomplish our mission, Wordwhipper Press will:
- Seek out unique writers and stories and bring them to the world.
- Support writers in their personal missions to promote social and environmental justice, and literacy.
- Challenge writers and readers to be open-minded, face difficult questions, have rational discussions, and approach and appreciate different perspectives.
- Tell good stories, entertain, and have a little fun.
Wordwhipper Press recognized a need for a small press dedicated to building a community based on collaboration and cooperation. By working with our authors, strategic alliances, we will create marketing plans appropriate for each project, and ensure continued growth. The growth may not be phenomenal, but if consistent, will help us reach our objectives and our audiences. This is in opposition to the usual premise of only publishing books with the hope of having bestsellers to support a positive bottom-line. We have experienced the gatekeepers, roadblocks and actions of the traditional publishing world and are dedicated to returning the focus to the creative artist.
Wordwhipper Press will publish high quality books, and will seek out groups and individuals who deserve wider exposure. We will provide opportunities and venues for their stories to reach the public.
Stories are important, and stories are everywhere, but stories are not complete until they have been experienced by an audience. The mission of Wordwhipper Press is to help bring the stories to completion.
