I have known Anita for many years, first as a publicist then as an editor. She has a great deal of passion for the books she has published, as well as for the business of book publishing as a whole. Anita is a well-rounded publishing professional having been a part of marketing, editorial, and an author. To that end, she is a great advocate for any author, and teacher for anyone looking to enter the business.
