Your book, done right.
Editorial expertise and production precision.
In 1996, Betsy was already a veteran of two newsrooms. Mark was building Blondins' Assignment America, the website our family filed in real time from a motor home: nine months, 25,000 miles, 40 states. The paper we wrote about the project led to a presentation at a U.S. Department of Education national conference in Chicago. The federal ERIC archive still holds it.
Betsy moved into book publishing, directing production of more than 75 illustrated history books. Mark spent 20 years in technology as a data storage consultant.
In 2008 we published our first book — Migraine Expressions: A Creative Journey Through Life with Migraine. In 2016, At Home Abroad: Today's Expats Tell Their Stories. Along the way, other people's books: Dancing with Life, From the Ground Up, and Maximum Impact Education. The same standard throughout.
