Wordeee’s Forward-Thinking Model Intros New Era for Publishing


“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes
the existing model obsolete.” — Buckminster Fuller


New York, N.Y. An estimated 2.2 to 2.4 million new books were published as of 2024 worldwide including print books, eBooks, audio books and other formats. Publishing used to be controlled by the caretakers of the industry. Today, anyone with a computer can hit publish and can be labeled a writer.


However, in the professional publishing industry still bound by tradition, Wordeee is rewriting the rules. Guided by the visionary leadership of CEO Marva Allen and COO Patrice Samara, their hybrid publishing platform is not just disrupting the status quo—it’s replacing it. Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s timeless wisdom, Wordeee has built a new model for publishing that empowers authors, embraces technology, and fosters global connection.

Wordeee isn’t just a publisher—it’s a new model for a new era. It’s a literary and entertainment hub that integrates storytelling with multimedia expansion.

Authors aren’t just creators; they’re collaborators in a dynamic ecosystem that supports their work from manuscript and print to Booksetters, Wordeee’s bespoke literary travel program and movie deals.

Unlike traditional publishers or self-publishing platforms, Wordeee offers a full-service hybrid model. They have developed a highly selective evaluation process based on the strength of ideas, genre, creativity and author profile ensuring a curated, high-impact catalog.

Authors receive editorial guidance, world class design, ongoing support, distribution and access to tools that extend  and promote their work.

Marva Allen, Wordeee’s founder and CEO, is a powerhouse of publishing, technology, and entrepreneurship. The architect of innovation, with a background that includes co-founding a multimillion-dollar tech company and receiving accolades like the IBM & Kodak Excellence Award and Crain’s 40 Under 40, Allen brings a 360-degree view of business and creativity. An accomplished author, she is also a renowned industry trailblazer as the owner of the HueMan Bookstore.

Allen’s stewardship of Wordeee reflects her belief that publishing should be exciting, engaging, and inclusive. She’s built a platform where authors are not just heard—they’re amplified.

As COO and co-founder, Patrice Samara, the strategist behind the spotlight, brings Emmy-winning expertise in media, communications, and global production.

She’s also the author of eight children’s books. With over fifty international awards and a resume that includes Fortune 500 consulting and being a respected U.N. NGO representative, Samara is the engine behind Wordeee’s hands-on author support.

Her impact is tangible: during the COVID-19 pandemic, Samara orchestrated complex virtual book launches that showcased Wordeee’s agility and commitment to author visibility…which continues today.  

She ensures that every story told reaches its audience with clarity, creativity, and resonance through Wordeee Newsletters and outreach.

Stewardship through storytelling is the Wordeee mantra.

Wordeee’s model is more than innovative—it’s deeply ethical. By focusing on quality, diversity, and author empowerment, they are stewarding a new generation of storytellers and impactful writers.


Their platform reflects a belief in literature as a force for cultural
connection, critical information, entertainment and social change.


In an age of algorithms and limited attention spans, Wordeee reminds us that stories still matterand that the way we share them must evolve.

Whether a book on building generational wealth or the challenges of divorce to celebrity memoirs and children’s books, the Wordeee catalog has something for everyone. Encouraging parents to read actual printed books to young digital natives allows children to develop reading comprehension benefits to last a lifetime.

Wordeee doesn’t fight the old publishing model—it renders it obsolete. Through visionary leadership, technological integration, and a fierce commitment to author empowerment, Allen, Samara and their highly dedicated team are building the future of publishing. And in doing so, they’re proving that stewardship isn’t just about preserving—it’s about pioneering.
