Woodtub Books

Two inseparable friends and writers, both determined to add a little extra touch of imagination to the world.

– The Wooden Tub

Who are we? 

Woodtub Books was founded by the two friends and authors: Jorden Kuijper and Timber Tuhumury. From the earliest moments of their shared childhood, Jorden and Timber were consumed with the desire to weave tales of excitement and wonder. They spent endless hours crafting worlds, imagining characters, and experiencing countless adventures. As they grew older, their building blocks and cardboard doodles were slowly replaced by pen and paper. What was not replaced however, was their passion – that part only grew.

Thus was born “Woodtub Books” – a haven for those who crave the boundless vistas that imagination can offer. Or in (perhaps) simpler and more honest words: an excuse for Jorden and Timber to keep dreaming throughout their adult lives. For them writing is a labor of love, a way to experience that feeling of excitement and wonder again. These are the storytellers of Woodtub Books, all too happy to open the borders of their imagination, hoping to share that same feeling with you.

Your story at Woodtub Books

Our determination to share stories goes far beyond just our own. If you are someone with a kindred passion looking to publish their story via a much more personal and customized route rather than a traditional one, we encourage you reach out to us via e-mail. We’ll simply sit down, chat about some ideas, and see what we can do for you. Woodtub Books is as indie as it gets – and who knows – beauty could sprout anywhere you sow. We look forward to hearing from you!
