Mission Statement
Windy Sea Publishing, LLC partners with authors to engage, entertain, enlighten, and empower readers – young and old – with character-driven stories of adventure, survival, mystery, enchantment, cozy romance, and historical fiction.
Background and Vision
Coming from a diverse background grounded in business, education, and liberal arts, we understand the importance of story. Stories are essential to who we are as human beings. They are the foundation of learning, creativity, imagination, understanding, empathy, and growth.
​
Consequently, we strive to provide great stories that will enrich our readers, our community, and the world. To that end, we partner with authors who may have unique stories to tell: those that fit into small niche sub-genres, combine differing sub-genres into a new cohesive concept, or test new ideas or tropes.​​
Our Origin Story
As a family run small business, founded on the experiences of three generations of teachers ranging from elementary and secondary school through college and including homeschooling, in fields encompassing social sciences, language arts, business & economics, and other STEM fields, we are passionate about learning and stories.
​
“Story is what makes us human … Recent breakthroughs in neuroscience reveal that our brains are hardwired to respond to story … we’re wired to turn to story to teach us the way of the world.”
– Lisa Cron, Wired for Story, 2012
​
As Lisa Cron so aptly explained in her book, neuroscience has demonstrated that we as humans are designed to learn through our own experiences and through others’ stories [of their experiences]. From humanities earliest days, our ancestors used stories, both oral and written, to hand down valuable lessons for survival and growth.
And so, it is our goal, our desire, to continue in that long tradition. Every place we visit, every experience we have, or person we meet, is an opportunity to learn something new and to tell a new story.
Each person has a story to teach the world. A tale of strength, joy, sadness, despair, cunning, courage, wisdom, and love. We seek to unlock these stories. We strive to help each reader to delve into the unknown world, to learn more about themselves and others, and ultimately, to become better people.
