I have to share about a guy who was in here this morning. He wants to publish a picture book written by his late wife when she was in 5th grade. This is why I love working in short-run publishing. I get to help clients who have personal reasons/heart connections that are more important than the publishing industry as a whole. And what makes this project even better is that the story (and the story behind the story) are absolutely charming.
We are still trying to come up with a title for this spin off The Frog Prince. And the author's husband is an artist who is still working on the illustrations for the story. After it's finished, it will be a beautiful product. But perhaps the most powerful part of the book will be the author bio of the woman who died prematurely at the age of 35. When asked in 5th grade what she wanted to be when she grew up, she responded, "Myself." And herself is a woman still honored by those whose lives she touched.
