Nicole Queen, founder and CEO of Vision Publishing House, a company that combines the power of the written word and vision to create transformational books for personal and corporate success, has always been a woman of service. Nicole’s tailormade paths for aspiring authors to craft their life’s journeys onto the page come from a decade of experience in writing and self-publishing, and even more time dedicated to education and guidance.
Through her storied career as a special education English teacher, Nicole cultivated her passion for the healing power literature can have on people’s lives. She has also served as a director for her church’s youth ministry. Here, she employed her abilities to understand and guide tangible change to lead outreach programs for kids seeking direction in their lives.
In 2019, she felt a calling to establish a publishing house to spread her community’s ideas far beyond their neighborhoods. As a woman of faith, Nicole has always steered towards opportunities to better the lives of those around her. Yet, this calling evaded her mind for an entire year. “This calling came to me in the classroom, where I have been teaching creative writing to children, a role I had loved for many years,” she recalls. Then, the pandemic began and Nicole could no longer ignore what her heart was saying. “I knew at that moment that I could help so many more through my calling.” She founded Vision Publishing House, originally named Title Your Truth, four years ago to a growing congregation for her services.
Initially, Nicole’s company focused on enabling aspiring authors to chronicle their stories and publish them through memoirs. She was soon collecting more and more requests from potential customers who wanted to write and distribute a wider variety of materials. Today, Vision Publishing House boasts a process – from the initial idea to the final word – that successfully builds the legacy of authors and businesses in the form of memoirs, brand books, children’s fiction, coloring books, devotionals, poetry collections, anthologies, history books, workbooks, and more.
Vision Publishing House’s services range from writing coaching, ghostwriting, and editing, to publishing and marketing resources. Having successfully built stages for her customers through the written word, Nicole uses a premium method that’s in the process of being patented, called the V.O.I.C.E. Blueprint. “It's a premium program that stands for Vision, Outline, Integration, Collaborative Organization, and Enhancement,” explains Nicole.
To explain further, “Vision” (step one) refers to the first meeting that Nicole holds with her clients, where they work out exactly what a client’s fundamental vision is and who they hope to inspire. Then based on what clients share, Nicole proposes a potential overarching structure for their future book – the “Outline” (step two). When this structure is agreed upon, clients will record their spoken words for Nicole to “Integrate” (step three) their ideas into the written word. After this initial draft is written, Nicole and her team “Collaborate” (step four) to refine and polish the sequences of the draft. Finally, the work is “Enhanced” (step five) into a final draft by adding secondary materials, signposts, and images for readers to further capture their essence.
The close touch of Nicole’s unique process enables authors to be carefully and precisely guided through the special process of translating themselves into a tangible legacy. “I get to start with my authors in the beginning and accompany them all the way through their journeys,” reflects Nicole. By crafting each work to the exact requirements and needs of her authors and their audiences, Nicole’s services flourish into a larger network of education and passion.
“I am incredibly privileged to guide authors through this process; it means so much to me,” Nicole shares, “To hear my clients birth their ideas, and then to hold that final book in my hand is beyond rewarding.” This end-to-end process empowers clients, from novice to professional writers, to direct their voices toward the audiences they were destined for. With a typical publishing process of only three months (and a signature process on the way that will expedite this to only a weekend!), Vision Publishing House can spread its authors’ messages across the best platforms as soon as possible. Vision Publishing House is proud to continue to nurture its growing and vibrant community of emerging authors.
