Helping authors to self-publish and market their books
Wild Side Publishing is a boutique publisher and marketer of inspirational books. We are a family business that began way back in 2014 when Janet published her memoir; Take a Walk on the Wild Side (republished as The Wild Side in 2016). This book forged the way for other stories to be told, large and bold – both her own, and others. Since publishing The Wild Side, she went on to write and publish Radical Lives Vol 1 and 2.
‘Real stories. Real hope.’ became the motto for Wild Side Publishing as it branched out into encouraging other New Zealand authors to share their stories. In their first year, WSP helped over 15 authors publish their books and distributed over 30+ books for existing authors.
