Changing the world since 2013
We were founded in a little house in Canada by Maggie Langrick, an entrepreneurial publisher with a big vision: to help humans live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives.
In 2024, Wonderwell Press became Greenleaf’s imprint dedicated to body, mind, and spirit nonfiction. As Founding Publisher, Maggie still plays an active role in the imprint, vetting and selecting titles for publication. She also meets directly with key authors to shape the positioning of their books before handing off to Greenleaf’s editorial, production, and marketing teams.
You might also know Maggie as the writer of The Underwire Substack, and host of the Selfish Gift podcast. She’s also a Wayfinder Life Coach specializing in helping emerging and experienced writers unlock their creative potential.
Meet Maggie, our Founding Publisher
“I know that great nonfiction books can change lives, because they changed mine.”
I still remember the first time a nonfiction book cracked me open. I was a precocious teenager with a big, broken heart. I felt miserable, confused, and stuck, until Robin Norwood’s book Women Who Love Too Much introduced me to the concept of codependence and gave me some tools to help me not be that way. (So, yeah, I was that kind of 17-year-old girl…)
It was the first of thousands of self-help books that I have devoured over the decades, many of which changed my understanding of the world and my place in it.
That’s what led me to found a mission-driven hybrid press. And it’s why, over a decade later, Wonderwell Press is still proudly focused on lifting up all human beings through shared wisdom.
For me, reading has rarely been about escapism into fantasy; it’s about diving deep into the realities of life. How does that thing work? Why do people act that way? And how can I make the most of my time on planet Earth? To every question, a book is the answer.
