• Publisher

  • Oct 2008 - Present

  Many authors are confused and frustrated by the abundance of publishing options today. In my role as publisher, I de-mystify publishing so that authors can more confidently proceed to write their books - knowing that there is a clear publishing path ahead. I coach our authors to successful completion of the right manuscript to meet their goals, and guide them to full awareness of the steps ahead in the publishing and marketing of their books.
