Welcome to Jayce’s World Publishing, inspired by the extraordinary journey of Jayce Joyce BCyA, the World’s Youngest Author to Publish a Book Series Simultaneously. From the tender age of 15 months, Jayce’s deep love for books sparked a vision within his family to create something profound.
The name Jayce’s World Publishing reflects Jayce as a young child with a burning passion for literacy. Jayce at the age of 3 would cover all the walls in and around the house with his writings. He would go as far as sticking his writings on a telephone pole at the roadside. When asked why he enjoys ripping off the pages and sticking them on walls, he would reply “I want everyone in my neighbourhood to read what I have written and to use their imagination and write their own too”.
Jayce started delivering Storytime sessions to children at the age of 4 following the publication of his first book series Jayce’s Sweet Tooth and A Beach With No Sea. He has been interviewed by and featured in several media outlets across the world including BBC News, ITV News, Cbeebies, etc.
Before founding Jayce’s World Publishing, Jayce had delivered a total of 16 Storytime sessions and 5 creative writing workshops in several schools, libraries, bookshops, community groups and even care homes across the Midlands spreading the joy of reading and writing amongst several children. His initiative, Jayce’s Summer Fun Activity launched at just 5 aimed at reducing screentime while children are away from school saw him successfully delivered an online workshop to 16 children over the 6 weeks summer holiday in 2023. His significant contribution to making a difference in society is also seen in his philanthropic work across the world in which he has been greatly honoured for, including the prestigious British Citizen Youth Award Medal of Honour as the youngest recipient, 2024 allowing him to use the post nominal BCyA
Till date, Jayce has read over 2000 books, surpassing his target set for age 7. This showcases his immense passion for knowledge as he continuous to lead with creativity and purpose driving initiatives.

Books by Children, for Children
At Jayce’s World Publishing, we believe that children have powerful stories to tell. That’s why we publish books written by children, for children, focusing on themes of diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Our mission is to give young writers a platform to share their unique perspectives, fostering a love for storytelling while promoting empathy and understanding among readers.
Kids see the world in fresh, honest, and imaginative ways. When they write stories about diversity—whether it’s about different cultures, abilities, identities, or family structures—they help other children learn, relate, and grow. By amplifying these voices, we create books that truly resonate with young readers.
We encourage and support young authors from all backgrounds to share their experiences and ideas being it;
- Authentic stories about friendship, kindness, and embracing differences.
- Illustrations by young artists to bring stories to life with creativity.
- Themes that inspire change, helping children become compassionate global citizens.
We invite young writers and illustrators to submit their stories and be part of our mission. Parents, educators, and communities can also partner with us to nurture the next generation of inclusive storytellers. Let’s build a world where every child’s voice is heard, and every child sees themselves in the stories they read.
