I’m a publisher.

Publishing is such a unique industry. We get to build bridges between the mind of a writer and the life of a reader. We get to turn ideas into product which then get turned back into ideas. We find it easy to convince ourselves that our work makes the world a better place.

Publishing operates at the intersection of commerce and art. Controlling road rage and keeping the traffic flowing smoothly is a challenge.

I’ve wondered how much simpler life would be if I just made widgets. And then I quickly realize how glad I am to be a publisher.
