Who would have thought that 2018 would bring about such wonderful growth for Higher Ground Books & Media! At the beginning of the year, I had a couple of goals for our little publishing company. One, I wanted to sign two new authors. Two, I wanted to publish at least five new titles. These were fairly conservative goals and I wasn't sure we would be able to accomplish either of them. Things were slow at the beginning of the year. Lots of starts and stops. A few sour grapes along the way. Some unfortunate incidents with less than reputable individuals who were not dealing above board. And a few months of weary soul-searching about whether or not it even made sense to keep going. And then, suddenly...a breakthrough. I prayed and prayed for God to help me figure out the direction I needed to take. And He delivered the most awesome message to me. He said, "Trust Me." And in the midst of conflict and disappointment, I handed it all over to Him once again
Where to start! Higher Ground Books & Media has had its best year ever! We added several new authors and eleven new titles this year! We also had our very first author event in November and made some great new friends there. Higher Ground Books & Media started the year as Books from Higher Ground. By the end of the year, we re-branded and expanded our line to include original art and products developed by our authors to work in tandem with their titles. You'll see more of these in 2018 as well as some of the other great things that we have planned.
I hope you will check out our new website and store. There are many great titles to choose from and more on the way!
