Hello. I am confused about WonderWell. I read something in P&W about you merging with Greenleaf. But at the Greenleaf site, there is no mention of WonderWell. Then, I tried to download the nonfiction book-template at WonderWell, and it wouldn't do so. Then, I entered my email for the newsletter, but got nothing from the site. And there are broken links on WonderWell's site to books and authors. I think the site looks interesting, and you've written things for Jane Friedman that I found helpful, so I am interested in exploring your services. What is the situation with WW publishing? Are you still in business with or part of Greenleaf?

Thank you.

Hello Whitney! Ack, apologies for the frustrations you've encountered with our website. Sounds like there are several bugs, and I appreciate you bringing them to my attention. Thank you for persevering in your efforts to connect with me.

Wonderwell Press is indeed now an imprint of Greenleaf Book Group, but I remain its Founding Publisher, which means I am responsible for selecting projects for our publishing program and setting those projects up for handoff to the editorial department inside of Greenleaf. There should definitely at least be a mention of Wonderwell Press on their site by now, but I know they had some rejuggling of priorities in their web team. I've let them know you encountered some roadblocks and am encouraging them to at least install a stopgap.

The submission form on the Wonderwell website is functioning fine; if you'd like to submit your project now, here's a direct link to that form.

https://wonderwell.press/submit-your-book/

You can also email me directly at maggie@wonderwell.press, and I'd be happy to chat with you about your project and your goals.

Warmly,

Maggie

Thanks for the words of wisdom on getting out of a funk for writing. Really appreciate it as I slog away on something that should have been finished long ago. 12th revision

Argh that’s frustrating but you’re right on time. It’s not done till you like it!
