After a ten-year career in production, sales, and promotion for Westminster Press, which specialized in trade juveniles for the library market and scholarly and professional publications for the
religious market, I came to Dorrance Publishing. During the twenty-eight years I have spent at Dorrance, I have seen self-publishing opportunies grow from just a few hundred authors working through a
few subsidy houses to literally hundreds of thousands of authors who have the ability to communicate with readers through various technolgies and media. Print-on-demand, self-publishing, electronic
publishing, and the Internet, to name a few, have opened up a world of exciting possibilities that level the playing field for all who seek to have their voices heard. It has been a great pleasure to
play a part in this democratization of the publishing industry.
