JMarie & Co. Publishing

Born from a mother’s love for stories...and a daughter’s vow to tell them.

JMarie & Co. Publishing was founded in honor of Janice Marie—a woman whose love of books was fierce, endless, and contagious. She believed in the power of a well-told story, the healing in a single sentence, and the way a good book could change everything.

Her name isn’t just on the company. It lives in it.

Every page. Every cover. Every voice we choose to carry forward is a continuation of that legacy.

At JMarie & Co., we don’t publish at scale—we publish with intention.

Our roster is deliberately small. Not because we lack stories, but because we refuse to rush them. Every author we take on is chosen, developed, and championed with care. Their work is not treated like a transaction or a tally.

It’s treated like it matters. Because it does.

We don’t chase trends.
We don’t stack catalogs.
We don’t collect names.

We build authors. We shape stories. We create work that lasts.

We are a proudly independent, Black-owned publishing house committed to stories that burn bright, bloom wild, and bleed real. Stories that challenge silence, honor complexity, and celebrate reclamation in all its forms.

Whether it’s fierce romance, raw memoir, haunting fantasy, or poetic fire—our imprints exist to hold space for bold voices, especially those too often overlooked or underestimated.

We believe:

In writing as revolution.
In publishing as empowerment.
In community over competition.
In stories that don’t just entertain—but transform.

This isn’t volume.
This isn’t fast publishing.

This is legacy work, and we’re honored you’re here.
