What's with the Laughing Buddha before the cool quotes?
According to legend, this plump little guy is modeled after a monk who protected passersby from venomous snakes. We think we're doing that for our customers by helping them avoid unscrupulous publishers. He also represents good tidings and prosperity. We hope to share that with our customers as well. And finally, he reminds us to laugh and enjoy the journey . . . and to make the experience of publishing as joyful as possible for our wonderful authors.
Meet our editorial director,
Deanne Lachner
