In Her Words Jessica Buchanan

Krista Clive-Smith talks through her own career journey from a professional organizer to a personal branding expert to visionary founder of Merack Publishing. As Krista wrote her first book, she saw a gap in the publishing industry and started Merack Publishing - a boutique, non-fiction publishing house built by authors, for authors.
In this illuminating dialogue with Jessica, Krista discusses the varying pathways of traditional, self, and non-traditional publishing models, empowering authors with invaluable insights to make the right decision for their book-publishing goals. Merack Publishing and Soul Speak Press champion the importance of connection and alignment, fostering an environment where author's voices resonate with profound authenticity. 
Listen in on this powerful conversation, where passion meets purpose, and authors find solace in a community driven by creativity, integrity, and unwavering dedication to craft.
