Our Mission: Publishing with Purpose
The Who Done It Difference
At Who Done It Publishing, we believe in the power of second chances and the transformative nature of storytelling. We are not just a publisher; we are a social empowerment project dedicated to elevating the voices of the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated.
We work to dismantle stereotypes and shed light on the realities of the criminal justice system by publishing high-quality, compelling literature from this unique perspective.
1. Amplifying Marginalized Voices
We provide professional publishing support, mentorship, and a platform for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. We ensure their stories, insights, and talents reach a broad audience, challenging conventional narratives about crime and punishment.
2. Promoting Education and Rehabilitation
We believe literary creation is a vital component of rehabilitation. Our projects encourage literacy, critical thinking, and the development of marketable skills, preparing our authors for successful re-entry into society.
3. Fostering Dialogue and Empathy
Through our books, we open up difficult but necessary conversations about the criminal justice system, human resilience, and social justice. We aim to build a bridge of understanding between the incarcerated community and the public.
Our Core Pillars
Our work is built on three foundational principles:
Our Vision
