. . . A Passion for Publishing . . . | |
Tom and Marilyn Ross -- and their passion for self-publishing -- have been featured in The New York Times, Nation's Business, Kiplinger's Changing Times, the Los Angeles Times, U.S. News & World Report, and dozens of other national magazines and newspapers. After self-publishing several books, this husband and wife team began giving nationwide writing and publishing seminars to share what they had learned about the process.
A flood of requests for individual guidance led to the creation of their Buena Vista, Colorado, consulting service, About Books, Inc. Over the last two decades they've helped thousands of professionals, entrepreneurs, authors, corporations, and associations successfully write, publish, and market their books.
Booklist says they write "with realism and extraordinary thoroughness." And the San Francisco Chronicle said about one of their books, "The authors are energetic yet irreverent, and the attitude is refreshing." You'll enjoy their same savvy, invigorating style in this unique hands-on resource.
These busy professionals continue to be in demand as speakers. They've been on the faculty of Folio's New York Face-to-Face conference, lectured at colleges and universities, and are often called upon to present seminars for associations. They speak about entrepreneurship, publishing, rural relocation, and PR/marketing. Their best-selling marketing guide, Big Ideas for Small Service Businesses, was selected as one of the 30 best business books of the year by Executive Book Summaries.
Tom Ross has masterminded promotional campaigns that created extensive print, radio, and TV coverage, and opened doors for national book distribution. Trained as a computer engineer, he is a respected leader in the publishing industry.
Marilyn Ross is the award-winning author of ten nonfiction books. She has also served as a corporate director of marketing and owns and operates her own advertising/PR firm. Entrepreneur magazine recently dubbed her a "trend tracker."
The prestigious Center for the New West invited the Rosses to be Senior Associates in the areas of home-based businesses and rural entrepreneurship in 1993. The Christian Science Monitor calls the Center "A think tank that casts its visionary net over the vast economic and cultural landscape." The Rosses also serve on the national advisory board of the American Home Business Association. You, too, can trust their advice and depend on their ideas to increase your prosperity.
In early 1996 they founded the Small Publishers Association of North America (SPAN) to advance the image and profits of independent publishers through education and marketing opportunities. Today this thriving nonprofit trade organization has almost 1,100 members in the U.S. and Canada. (For details visit www.SPANnet.org.)
Both Tom and Marilyn are listed in the 24th edition of Who's Who in the West. And between them, this dynamic pair is also included in Who's Who of American Women, The World Who's Who of Women, The International Businessmen's Who's Who, and Men and Women of Distinction.
Their writing careers are detailed in Working Press of the Nation, Who's Who in U.S. Writers, Editors & Poets, The International Authors and Writers Who's Who, and Contemporary Authors. Both also belong to the Authors Guild, the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), and the National Speakers Association.
