Josha Publishing

Josha is a woman-founded, woman-owned, and woman-run company that is passionate about books, stories, and the power of words to change lives. Unfortunately, the traditional publishing landscape has a high barrier to entry and leaves a lot of powerful voices with important messages without a chance to get their books into readers’ hands. That’s where we come in. We want to change the way publishing is done, giving full and fair consideration to every author and making sure the stories that inspire, encourage, and empower are given a voice. Everything we do here is through a lens of integrity, passion, and purpose. We don’t believe in following the status quo; instead, we believe in disrupting it in order to effect positive change in the world. We also believe in exercising compassion and understanding in all things and providing a voice to the voiceless. That’s why you’ll find we gravitate toward those painful stories that have previously lived in silence. Our logo is a visual representation of our values. In the words of Glennon Doyle, we at Josha are “goddamned cheetahs”. We’re healing and remembering our wild, as Glennon calls it, and we strive to connect with the world around us, through community and nature alike. We’re constantly evolving, becoming truer and more beautiful versions of ourselves, like the butterfly on the cheetah’s face. Our values include kindness and compassion for all with a respect for the glorious imperfections that make each one of us beautifully human.
