Lynette Greenfield

Author & CEO/Founder of Limelight Publishing

Hi, I’m Lynette Greenfield, Founder of Limelight Publishing and an author. I’m passionate about helping people turn their ideas and stories into published books. I guide writers through the publishing process step by step, showing them how it works, supporting them at every stage, and encouraging them to believe in the value of their voice and their story. My goal is to make the publishing journey feel approachable and achievable, so more people feel confident sharing their words with the world.

As a writer, I have published multiple books through Lulu Press, exploring a wide range of genres including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and children’s literature. While I enjoy working across many forms of storytelling, fiction holds a special place for me. I’m fascinated by the way stories can illuminate human experience, challenge perspective, and create emotional connections between readers and worlds that exist only on the page.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple mission: to make publishing more visible, accessible, and achievable for people who might otherwise feel excluded from the process. I care deeply about supporting disadvantaged youth and individuals living in geographically isolated communities, helping them discover that their stories matter and deserve to be heard. For me, publishing is not just about producing books, it is about empowering voices, building confidence, and creating pathways for people to share their experiences with the world.

A special moment

Long before I created Limelight Publishing, the beautiful poet and author Angela Marie (@angel_writer) read some of my work in an Instagram Live event. Angela is a beautiful soul, so when I wrote Write, Publish, Repeat, I decided to include her. It was the very least I could do.
