Power
of nature
Prosperia Publishing began, literally, as the result of a hurricane.
In October 2005, my book Women who Win at Work was at the printer in Florida when suddenly Hurricane Wilma destroyed the complex that housed both printer and publisher. Overnight I became corporately devastated. With book signings scheduled, promotional pieces ready, press kits with reviewers, website polished—all horses were lined up at the gate, poised and tense for the sound of the gun. But no gun. The horses relaxed; they looked around.

Careful declarations
Suddenly I had to take my publishing in a different direction.

As a graphic designer and writer, using my strong media background in both print and web, I set out to do what I vowed I never would do: self-publish. Prosperia’s first titles includeWomen who Initiate Ideas, a workbook to develop business creativity, Women who Write about Work, a digest of businesswomen’s body of knowledge, Women who Leave Legacies expands upon the advice of previous generations, and Women who Secure Support with contributors advice forming a self-seminar.
Publishing pioneer
Enamored with reading onscreen and design for less paper, the PDF format is ideal.
Few organizations create publications to be both read onscreen as well as printed selectively. PDF publications offer both when designed well (especially with minimal screen scrolling and light ink coverage for printing). Yet, there is always an appeal for a book’s tangibility: accessible, portable, and tactile. The mesh between media is a creative thinker’s paint box. What matters is the content, how the words and visuals go together, and what these say to the reader.
Focus on strategy
Encapsulating wisdom from 500 authors, comparing ideas is a preoccupation.
I’ve read over 200 books by and for businesswomen, covering most best sellers. The other almost And I’ve read another 300 business authors, comprising most of the classics. Much of my publishing is based on comparative quotations—where readers can choose to explore which authors most resonate. Through both my reading and my experience in publishing and business, I have created rewarding explorations. See my Wise Women Collection bookstore.
Power of change
Goals can be met more than one way!
