ABOUT Well Wide
Books born from lived wisdom, purpose, and care
At Well Wide Publishing, we help people turn what they know into something others can hold.
We work with mission-driven individuals — storytellers, healers, nonprofit leaders, and creatives — to shape meaningful books rooted in lived experience and lasting impact.
Whether you’ve written pages or are just beginning to explore what’s possible, we walk with you step by step.
Our Mission:
We exist to encourage and support writers in turning their lived experiences, insights, and stories into books they’re proud to share. We believe your story is worth telling — and that you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
Our Vision:
We envision a world where people with something meaningful to say have access to tools, support, and community that help them shape and share their words - and where books become quiet catalysts for healing, connection, and change.
Why the Name “Well Wide”?
The “well” is your source.
The place within you where insight, reflection, and wisdom live.
The “wide” is the ripple.
The reach your words can have when shaped and shared with intention.
We believe there’s a well of wisdom in everyone.
And when drawn with care, it can create wide impact.
what we offer
We guide writers through two core publishing pathways:
Manuscript-to-Book for those with a finished or near-finished draft
Idea-to-Book for those carrying insight or lived experience who need help shaping it into a manuscript
Custom Partnership for organizations, multi-author works, or mission-led projects.
Every step is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to where you are in the process.
About the Founder
Hi, I’m Preston Murray — writer, yoga teacher, nonprofit founder, and someone who’s spent the past decade building spaces for healing and growth.
Through my work with Remember Wellness, a recovery home in Columbus, Ohio, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when people feel supported in sharing their story.
I started Well Wide Publishing because I believe the insights we gain through lived experience — through recovery, grief, identity, and growth — are worth holding, honoring, and passing on.
This isn’t about chasing bestseller lists.
It’s about helping people take what they know and shape it into something they can share — with care, with clarity, and without having to do it alone.
