Books change lives
Do you remember the first book you ever read? Can you remember that magic feeling as your imagination sailed away on the words of fantasy and adventure? Do you still read for those delights or are you more into books that impact, influence and inspire? Whichever books float your boat, it is undoubtedly true that one way or another you are changed by them. That’s the beauty of books. They change lives.

Books change lives
Dominique Raccah, the publisher & founder of Sourcebooks, is my guest on Brave New Girl podcast.
This week’s guest is Dominique Raccah, the entrepreneurial Publisher and CEO of Sourcebooks, which has won every award for innovation in the publishing industry, has created scores of New York Times bestsellers & hundreds of national bestsellers; and is the largest woman-owned book publisher in the United States of America.
Publishing a book has always relied heavily on author book tours to promote their books but the Pandemic saw all those tours cancelled in the last couple of years. Retailers and the supply chain suffered but publishers and authors learned to adapt and innovate.
Dominique wasn't always a book worm but when she did finally discover the worlds that lay beyond the covers she was hooked.She didn't take the normal route into publishing but instead fell into it through the course of taking another path.
Once in, she was gripped, took a progressive approach and led the way into a market-driven route to book publishing success. As her coach said she was the most fearful client he had ever seen, who never allowed that fear to get in the way.
Thanks Dominique for being a leading light in the wonderful community of books that help change lives and enlighten souls; for recognizing that every book is personal and every author’s voice has its place, and for knowing when to hold up a book and gift it to the world.
