Waldron Publishing

In 2011, I started an eBook publishing company. Just as

it got going, I found I was pregnant with our third daughter. Due to my age and other circumstances, the pregnancy was rough and I was unable to keep up with the pace that the burgeoning company needed to survive and thrive. So, in 2014, I gave all of the publishing rights back to the authors and still maintain two books. I am looking to one day begin again, armed with the great knowledge and experience gained from the original attempt.

I am very proud of the work that we did and what we were able to accomplish.

As a shout out, I recommend the wonderful books that we published. I was so blessed to work with such talented authors and creators, for whom I owe such a debt of gratitude for believing in me and in the project. I hope, at the end of the day that it was as good an experience (to learn and to grow) for each of them as it was for me. Here is a run-down of what we did in three short years.

We still have a great following on Pinterest, and lots of free printables for your home and non-profit use.

Writing this has been healing. Sometimes we look at our past and think that certain experiences are complete failures because they don’t match our expectations. Though I was so proud of the work we did, I mainly saw Waldron Publishing as a disappointment. As I wrote this list however, I was amazed at what we actually accomplished and how many people believed in it enough to be a part of it. I feel humbled and extremely thankful!

“Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage,

no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow …

You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your [art]. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.”

―Kurt Vonnegut
