Nathelie Zetrenne-Norman

I'm Nathelie, an author, self-publishing coach, and freelancer. I never set out to become an author, but my passion for books and writing has taken me to places I never expected. Writing as a contributing writer for brands, self-publishing my own books, and assisting aspiring authors led me to launch Z House Publishing—a Haitian-owned independent publishing agency that prioritizes the amplification of culture, experiences and stories of black and brown people. Through our our work, we have imagined and developed mechanism for building legacy.

 

My journey as an author and copywriter has shown me the profound impact the writing community can have on the world and our communities. As a Haitian-American woman, I understand the importance of preserving culture and creating a legacy. Through books, articles, and screenplays, we can unite worlds and turn dreams into reality. I wanted to be part of that—to create worlds where people like myself are seen thriving, worthy, and important. 

 

My work in publishing guides and supports aspiring authors, parents, and caregivers in creating lasting legacies through books that their families and communities will cherish forever. By sharing untold stories, the narratives we wish we had heard, the stories passed down through each generation and sharing our dreams; we can build a community that fosters creativity and provides the escapism that society often tells us is out of reach. Let's embark on this journey together and make our dreams a reality, one story at a time.
