To Answer a Few Questions

What Makes Publishing Joy Different?

Your story has something to give. Publishing Joy helps you bring it into the world as a book that carries your voice, reflects your vision, and reaches the readers who need it.

We are a boutique independent publishing house with an author-funded model. You invest in your book, and our team walks beside you from the first idea through publication and launch. You receive the personal attention of a boutique house and the support of a connected, professional publishing team.

Your book. Your voice. Your rights.

You retain ownership of your manuscript, intellectual property, publishing rights, and royalties. Your ideas remain yours to develop through future books, programs, talks, and courses.

Publishing Joy does not take an ongoing share of your royalties. When the publishing platform allows, royalties are paid directly to you. Any applicable administrative, printing, shipping, or fulfillment fees are explained in writing before you commit.

A publishing team that sees the gift in your story

Publishing Joy founder Shajen Joy Aziz, M.Ed., M.A., is an award-winning #1 international bestselling author, educator, publisher, and transformational leader. She knows the courage it takes to share meaningful work. She also knows how to help an author find the heart of a book and shape its message for readers.

Your package includes one-on-one coaching with Shajen. Alongside her, an experienced team can support your project through vision and structure, writing guidance, coaching and mastermind sessions, professional editing, cover design, interior formatting, ISBN and metadata support, publishing and distribution setup, launch planning, marketing, visibility, and an Amazon bestseller campaign.

Your services are shaped around your project, your goals, and the package you choose. Your agreement makes clear what is included, what comes next, and what each person is responsible for. You stay involved and approve the final work before publication.

A book journey that changes you, too

At Publishing Joy, the finished book matters. The person you become while creating it matters just as much.

As your ideas take shape, you gain clarity about what you know and why it matters. You find your message, claim your voice, and grow more confident in sharing your work. When you hold your finished book, you can say, “I am an author,” knowing you brought something meaningful into the world.

Your voice and your story matter. It’s why we’re here.

Our product is empowering books. Our service is personal transformation.

Will my book be a bestseller?

Every book’s path is its own. We prepare your book with professional publishing support, launch planning, and an Amazon bestseller campaign designed to build visibility. We’ll stay beside you as you share your work with the world.

No publisher can promise a bestseller ranking, sales, or a specific financial result. Those outcomes depend on factors beyond any publisher’s control. What we promise is our expertise, honest guidance, full care, and a book you can be proud of.

Yes, it matters. Your background as a licensed special educator and a therapist registered with the State of Vermont adds meaningful depth to your work with authors. It helps explain how you guide people with both professional skill and care. I’ve included it in the founder section without suggesting that Publishing Joy provides therapy.
