meet the team
Joanne Tailele, Owner, Author
As an author herself, Joanne recognizes that writing is only half the journey. After you have spent months or even years on that perfect (you think) manuscript, it's the what-to-do-next that stops authors in their tracks.
Simon Publishing LLC is here to help you realize your dreams. She has studied the craft of writing for ten plus years with the best in the industry; people like Stephen King, Jennie Nash, Lisa Cron, and Donald Mass.
She is an active members of IBPA, Independent Book Publishers Association, FAPA, Florida Authors & Publishers Association, FWA, Florida Writers Association , WFWA. Women's Fiction Writers Association and FWA, Florida Writers Association and MIW, Marco Island Writers Inc.

In the latter capacities, she has edited over 200 novels, 1000 short stories, and three anthologies. She has also taken classes through the University of California San Diego’s Copyediting Program.

P.J. Morgan, Audio Narrator
A lifelong storyteller, book nerd, actor, and secret author, P. J. Morgan has finally reached the pinnacle of human form as a professional audiobook narrator! She is an empathic performer with a broad skillset who believes in the power of the written and spoken word to transform, educate, elevate, and escape. When not in the booth, she is outside playing with her equine friends, hiking with her demonspawn chihuahua, or crafting hit-or-miss vegan meals. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, P. J. is especially interested in stories featuring diverse characters, and has a soft spot for unusual protagonists and sympathetic villains.
P. J. narrates in her home studio using professional, industry-standard equipment:
- VocalBooth Gold series with added bass traps
- CAD Equitek E100S microphone
- Audient iD14 interface
- Studio One Artist using Punch and Roll
- Izotope RX Standard
