Dragonfly Publishing
ABOUT
Dragonfly Publishing supports authors in transforming their ideas into beautifully finished books, without compromising their voice, vision, or ownership. Like the dragonfly’s journey from water to air, we believe every book deserves careful guidance as it emerges into the world.
​
We work closely with authors on a personal, book-by-book basis, offering clear, honest support throughout the publishing process. At Dragonfly Publishing, publishing is not a product or a package—it’s a partnership built on trust, craft, and care.
​
Founded by author and publisher Lisa Wolstenholme, Dragonfly Publishing understands both the creative and practical sides of bringing a book to life. Lisa knows how daunting publishing can feel and how important it is to have someone who truly understands the soul of a manuscript and the needs of its author.
​
We offer a thoughtful alternative to rigid, expensive publishing models. Authors retain full ownership of their work while receiving skilled guidance, respect, and support at every stage.
​
Dragonfly Publishing is for writers who want to hold their finished book with pride and joy—knowing their story has been carefully nurtured and is ready to take flight.
Our mission is to make publishing achievable,
affordable, and emotionally supported, so authors can transform their stories into something lasting.
