But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
Luke 2:19
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

Is it time to share your story?
Someone is waiting to read your book...let's make the dream a reality!
I am a police wife, a homeschool mom, and a passionate writer who loves to create books that are uplifting as well as practical. I am also a mentor to others who have a story to tell and need some help figuring out the details. I created Peacemaker Publishing as a unique imprint when I released my first book. I believe that good writing can change the world, because it can change the life of the reader. I love helping others share their stories so that together we can make a positive impact through our words. If you are ready to self-publish a book, and you'd like to find out how, contact me about mentorship opportunities. You may be able to join the Peacemaker Publishing family of authors!
I can't wait to read your story! ~ Janelle
Publishing Mentorship
You wrote a book - now what?
When I began sending out inquiries to big publishers, I quickly learned they all wanted me to have an agent, be famous, and have a huge social media following. Without these things, most of them would not even look at my manuscript. So after a year of that, I began looking into the "vanity publishers" - the companies that charge YOU thousands of dollars to publish YOUR work. They require you agreeing to their terms and signing their contracts...and I just didn't feel at peace about all of the fine print. Then I found out I could do it myself...if I was willing to take the time to learn how. Now that I know how, I am ready to make the publishing journey much easier for you! For a fraction of the cost, I can offer you experience and knowledge from creating your cover to getting your first royalty payment, and everything in between.
ISBN number
When I created the Peacemaker Publishing imprint, I acquired the ability to purchase ISBN numbers in bulk at a lower cost. I can provide your official ISBN number through Peacemaker Publishing which saves you money.
Editing
Peacemaker Publishing will make sure your pages look professional - free of spelling and grammar mistakes.
Cover Design
Together, we will create a cover for your book that invites people to take a closer look!
Formatting
Getting your manuscript from a basic Word document into an actual book format that is ready to publish is no small task. From margins, to page size, to page numbers, to headers, and more...all of the little details can be daunting, but I will be here to help make it simple for you.
Social Media Promotion
When you join the Peacemaker Publishing family of authors, you receive the benefit of promotion through my Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The Peacemaker Publishing Imprint
