Wendiilou Publishing, Books, and Gifts: Our story.
Wendiilou came about out of a dissatisfaction with the available options for authors. When my mum wrote her first few books, the only real option available to her was vanity publishing - expensive, time-consuming, and ultimately unprofitable.
Then, someone suggested self-publishing, so with little more than a manuscript, a cover concept, and some optimism, we gave it a shot!
Through trial and error, and more trial, and bigger errors, we worked our way through and discovered, that daunting as it was, we could do this - and if we could do it for ourselves, we could help others.
So - initially we started Reading Stones Publishing, focussed on clean and wholesome, spiritual, and Christian titles - but what if a book didn't fit that box?
Wendiilou Publishing was borne of not wanting to be stuck in a box - and here we are. At Wendiilou, we can help you publish your book - regardless of your theme or genre. From editing and proofreading, to cover design, we have the know-how to get you there, and we do it for a fraction of the cost of vanity publishing.

Reviews
At my first attempt at writing a Children's Book, I found that Wendy was extremely helpful with giving me some guidelines on what I should do & helpful hints to complete my Children's Book.
Being unsure of what had to be done so Wendy was able to give me Feedback when I felt discouraged & felt like throwing the towel in.
With Wendy's encouragement, I was able to complete my project. I can't speak highly enough of Wendy. She is highly recommended - Juleeia Sneesby
