Watchful Wizard Publishing wants you to know that traditional publishing is not a thing of the past, and you need not settle for vanity publishing or self publishing. Watchful Wizard Publishing brings a different atmosphere to the traditional publishing world. Here author and publisher are united in a common goal, to bring about the author’s hard work. Each step of the way, our team is there with you; and after publishing we are there to help navigate what comes next. You are not just another number or a selling point. Those who partner with us have more than a publisher, but a fellowship.
