Meet Our Authors

The work within is the result of countless hours of creation. The authors thoughtfully considered and answered questions from a long list that prodded them to explore who they are not only as a writer, but as a thought leader and expert in their field. We have also included a compelling sample chapter from their forthcoming books.
The writing work was done offline and "together alone" in dozens of virtual Writing Parties where paragraphs were shared and polished. More than that, this group bonded and grew together as a community of forthcoming authors-big of heart and strong in message.
