Youngest Team in Indie Publishing Hopes to Shake Things Up

ATLANTA - June 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Not quite traditional, not quite self-publishing, “Postmodern publishing” sits somewhere in between, bringing a new perspective to the industry.

One of the youngest presidents and founders of a publishing company, Dr. Pamela Antoinette Larde, had a unique vision for the future of indie publishing after publishing her own book (Letters to the Brokenhearted) left her wanting more. She then recruited her former editor—youngest senior editor, now executive editor, in the industry—Caroline Donahue. The two are now a formidable team with new authors clamoring to be published and work with the two.

“The future of publishing lies in the younger generations and keeping up with their demand for technology both as writers and readers,” says Larde, a professor, award-winning author, and entrepreneur. “We’re offering a dynamic, affordable vision for innovative and inspiring authors in all genres.”

“Age is just a number. That’s been proven in so many industries, especially social media. Publishing is no different. Age often brings a fresh, young, think-outside-of-the-box perspective that older and more traditional companies don’t have. For better or worse, they get locked into a comfortable way of doing things,” says Donahue, 28, who has edited over 100 manuscripts in just two years, and has over 13 years of marketing experience.

In addition to Larde and Donahue, the team consists of bright young award-winning Atlanta author, Anne Marie Stoddard (Murder at Castle Rock) as the new marketing director. The three have an impressive resume, including five degrees, multiple book awards, and a quickly expanding list of authors.

Publishing has traditionally been a male-dominated industry, but more and more young women enter the field daily. “It’s really just coincidence that we’re all young women, but we share a common philosophy and core ideals to give our clients the best. Excellence isn’t confined to gender.” says Larde. “We aim to be unconventional and empowering.”
