Who We Are
Thought Provoking Publishing was founded with a single vision — to challenge conventions, awaken curiosity, and inspire independent thinking through fearless storytelling.
At its core is Paul Bailey, the company’s founder and current lead author. What began as one visionary writer’s mission to explore the raw edges of human experience has evolved into a platform for ideas that push beyond the surface — ideas that make readers think, feel, and question.
Mission Statement
We publish fearless storytelling through thought-provoking works by visionary writers and artists who challenge perspectives and inspire independent thinking.
Purpose Statement
Our purpose is to inspire fearless storytelling that awakens, enlightens, and empowers independent thinking among minds across the world, fostering a community of visionary writers.
Vision Statement
To build Thought Provoking Publishing into a global platform where readers and viewers embrace fearless storytelling, cultivate independent thinking, and engage with visionary writers who inspire bold ideas and rational thought.
About the Founder
Paul Bailey is an author and storyteller dedicated to exploring the complexities of truth, identity, and power through fearless storytelling and social commentary. His works blend elements of psychological depth, cultural critique, and emotional realism, inviting readers to engage in independent thinking and question the world around them and the beliefs within themselves.
Paul founded Thought Provoking Publishing to maintain creative independence and to build a space where visionary writers can thrive — free from corporate agendas and censorship.
Looking Ahead
Thought Provoking: Stories that challenge. Ideas that awaken.
While currently a solo-driven imprint, Thought Provoking Publishing is expanding to embrace fearless storytelling. In time, we’ll open doors to new visionary writers, artists, and thinkers who share our mission — to inspire independent thinking and challenge the status quo through authentic, transformative storytelling.
