An independent press born to amplify children's voices

Submissions open. Free to publish. Diverse voices especially welcome.

Our Story

Founded by an 8-year-old, for every child's story

Jayce's World Publishing was born from a simple conviction: that children's stories deserve professional publishing, regardless of the author's age or background. Founded by Jayce Joyce BCyA, the press has published four books and the UK's first nationwide child-led anthology, with more titles in development.

We are an independent press in the truest sense โ€” not backed by a major group, not driven by commercial trends, but guided by what children need to read and hear.
