Publish with Wise Buy Royalty

Wise Buy Royalty is an independent publishing house with roots in Jamaica and Norway. We publish books that carry Caribbean voices, faith, and practical leadership to readers around the world, and we partner closely with our authors to make every book the best it can be.

What We Publish

Caribbean culture and identity: fiction and nonfiction
Faith and ministry
Business and leadership

We do not currently accept poetry collections, children’s picture books, or erotica. Previously self-published books with limited sales are considered only by agreement, so please ask us before submitting one.

How We Work with Authors

Hybrid partnership (our main offer): you share part of the production cost, with a transparent, itemised budget, and earn 50% of net receipts on print, ebook and audiobook. Every book goes through our full editorial process: developmental edit, line edit, proofread, professional cover, layout and worldwide distribution.

Traditional publishing: reserved for exceptional manuscripts. We cover all costs and pay royalties.

Author services: pay for the services you need and keep all your rights and royalties.

Every manuscript we accept is scored before and after our editorial process, so you can see exactly how your book has been strengthened.
