Publishing projects designed to inspire, educate, and empower. We invite you to discover meaningful content, beautifully crafted for families, entrepreneurs and passionate readers like you.

Welcome to the Publishing Division of Johanna Vandenbogaerde Consulting

Creativity has always been at the heart of Johanna Vandenbogaerde Consulting — and now, that creativity has grown into something even more exciting. Our Publishing Division is dedicated to bringing meaningful, beautifully crafted books into the world while supporting new and aspiring authors on their publishing journey.

From whimsical children’s stories to thoughtful journals, practical planners, inspiring colouring books, and both fiction and nonfiction titles, our publishing work reflects the same values that guide our consulting: community, creativity, and helping people share their voice with confidence.

What We Publish

We create and publish a wide range of books designed to inspire, entertain, and empower readers of all ages:

  • Journals & Planners — tools for reflection, organization, and personal growth
  • Colouring Books — creative escapes for kids and adults
  • Fiction & Nonfiction — stories and ideas that spark imagination and insight

Our flagship series, Tails of Maverick and Goose, celebrates the joy, humour, and everyday adventures of two beloved grey cats — with more titles and series on the way.
