Twenty one foreign languages and counting! Our independent publishing company is an international power house! In just the last year, we have sold one or more titles into simplified and complex Chinese, Serbian, Czech, Slovenian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Marathi, Bulgarian, Korean, and other languages.

Our fulltime staff may be small but we also rely on a team of freelance service providers including a top proofreader and interior book designer, as well as a network of foreign co-agents, who have helped us to publish well-regarded books of a top professional quality that have helped our company to transform lives and to add ideas, information, and worthwhile literature whether it's a children's book about deafness ("Dina the Deaf Dinosaur"), a young adult sci-fi novel about a teen who picks up a sound from outer space and we are on the edge of our seats figuring out just what is that sound ("Sound from a Star"), or a classic book on friendship ("Friendshifts") that led to author interviews on OPRAH, THE VIEW, TODAY SHOW, THE EARLY SHOW, CBS SUNDAY MORNING, and other major talk shows.

We publish poetry ("Jugglers and Tides") and even one-act plays ("In The Great Together") as well as adult and YA novels, business books, a series of affirmations books, children's illustrated books including a new series, that started with "The Cantaloupe Cat" and now will include by summer 2012 the new books "The Quiet Dog" and "The Reading Rabbit", as well as YA novels.

Founded in 1996, we regularly attend or exhibit at major book fairs including the Frankfurt Book Fair, the London Book Fair, and BookExpo as well as occasional visits to regional book fairs including the Liber (in Spain), Prague Book World, TIBE (in Taiwan), Abu Dhabi, and the premiere book fair for children's books, the Bologna Children's Book Fair.

We also offer consulting, coaching, or direct services on foreign rights, book authorship or publishing, and book promotion, to a select number of publisher, literary agent, or author clients.

We are committed to mentoring the next generation of publishing professionals; since 2005 we have had college students participating in an internship program for credit during the Summer, Fall, or Spring semesters.

Founder & CEO (and international award-winning author/coach/speaker/sociologist) Dr. Jan Yager has sold one or more titles, directly to publishers or through co-agents around the world, in 31 languages with distribution to more than 60 countries.

We have completed "spec" screenplay adaptations available to several of our fiction titles including REX, UNTIMELY DEATH, JUST YOUR EVERYDAY PEOPLE, CYBERSONA, and SOUND FROM A STAR.
