About Us

WORTH Writing is an independent publishing house based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It's also the starting point of something much bigger.

Founded by Tina White, WORTH Writing began as a personal creative outlet and a way to bring her work to life. But from the start, it was about more than just publishing books. It was about reclaiming voice, rewriting old narratives, and planting the seed for something that has yet to exist.

The long-term vision is to grow WORTH Writing into a Community of WORTH — a social enterprise and creative space where writers and artists living with mental health, substance use health, and/or a history of trauma can come together to support one another, reignite their creative spark, and start reconnecting with their WORTH.

Through writing, publishing, mentorship, and connection, WORTH Writing is about building a space where healing and creativity meet. Where people who’ve felt voiceless - or worthless - can create something honest, and maybe find their WORTH in the process.
