Authors

Since 2018, WordWyze Publishing has worked with over 30 authors on over 50 books.

Not all authors use all of WordWyze services. Some use their own editors and/or cover designers but come to WordWyze for the formatting and printing. We are happy to work with other editors and cover designers.

Most authors require help with full publishing, taking them from editing, through formatting to printing and online distribution.
WordWyze offers a one-stop full publishing service, minus the marketing - that remains the author's responsibility.

In this section, we introduce you to the authors whom we have helped with publishing in whichever capacity they've needed.

'... the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.'

Paul Devereux

Paul speaking with Bedouin

Paul is by trade a builder and has won awards for his building, but he is also a linguist and years ago, he spent 10 years living amongst the Bedouin in the Middle East learning their language. During this time, he saw ancient writings on rocks in the desert.
After some research he discovered these writings to be closely related to the ancient Proto-Semitic alphabet (Ancient Hebrew). He learnt that this language has depths of meaning which are lost in a surface reading of the Hebrew scriptures and so set about looking for divinely designed patterns and layers of meaning. He found that even each letter and their placement in the alphabet clarifies God’s purpose for humanity. Gods design of the scriptures is far deeper than a surface reading of the words!

Paul's book Eternal Family in the Alphabet brings to us the truth that God's purpose for humanity is to be a part of His Eternal Family.

After Anne's grandmother's death in 2005, my mother gave her Arthur's letters and diaries, preserved in a leather suitcase. These journals, filled with tales of courage and perseverance, captivated Anne, and she spent months poring over them and sharing the stories with my young grandson.

Determined to retrace Arthur's steps, Anne traveled to Alaska three times between 2008 and 2010. Armed with his journals and an Alaska Atlas, she embarked on adventures that included a 200 km dog-mushing expedition and following the old mail trail from Ester to Manley Hot Springs. These journeys, alongside her friends and family, brought Arthur's stories to life and allowed her to uncover the challenges he faced over a century ago.

Anne wove her adventures into her great-grandfather's to bring about a very interesting book, "True to the Trail"
