We are an independent publishing company that is dedicated to publishing fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and journals that are innovative, informative, and creative. Our titles are highly-regarded and well-received by reviewers, readers, and the media throughout the U.S. and internationally with author appearances on such major shows as Oprah, Today Show, The View, CBS Sunday Morning, CNN, The Early Show, CNN, WOR radio, BBC radio, and NPR, among others.

Our company was founded in 1996 and we are dedicated to publishing quality books and journals that inspire, educate, or entertain in such areas as (for nonfiction)--relationships, business, mind, body & spirit; (for fiction)--thrillers (mysteries, sci-fi, and techno-thrillers)and contemporary issues for YA through adult audiences; children's books on issues that matter including dealing with deafness and stereotyping; poetry; and dramatic literature.

We regularly attend BookExpo, the Frankfurt Book Fair and/or the London Book Fair and we try to attend at least one library or regional trade show on a regular basis.

Through World News and Information Network, Inc., we also coach on foreign rights as well as book authorship and/or promotion.

We have had college students intern for credit at our publishing company since 2005 and look forward to continuing our internship/mentoring of the next generation of editors, publicity, and foreign rights managers through Fall and/or Spring semester as well as Summer internships.

Founder & CEO (and international award-winning author/coach/speaker) Dr. Jan Yager has sold one or more titles for her company's authors, her own titles, or selected other authors/publishers directly to publishers or through co-agents around the world, in 27 languages and more than 60 countries.

We have completed screenplay adaptations by the authors of several of our fiction titles including REX, UNTIMELY DEATH, JUST YOUR EVERYDAY PEOPLE, CYBERSONA, and SOUND FROM A STAR. We welcome inquiries from movie producers, directors, actors and actresses, agents, scouts, or managers for the film rights to those novels.
