Volume 15 | subscribers | 1 different countries | 14 October 2009 Contents Part 1 - Welcome! Dear %$firstname$%, I paid a visit to the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park a few days ago, to see the beautiful autumn leaves. It wasn’t only the variety that struck me but the way in which each tree was in tune with its own colour. The red Acer wasn’t hankering after the yellow leaves of the neighbouring trees, and the Oak seemed very content with its russet hues. It was a visual reminder that when we remain true to ourselves and play to our strengths we shine brightly.
Leda Sammarco It's a book thing. Part 2 - Feature Article Being Ahead of the Curve I recently heard Judy Piatkus, founder of publishing company Piatkus Books, speak at an Inspired Entrepreneurs evening. I took the opportunity to ask Judy some additional questions about future trends in the publishing industry, self-publishing and mind body spirit books. Her story demonstrates how keeping ahead of trends and reinventing yourself can be the keys to success. The Making of Piatkus Books Judy started the company in her back bedroom in 1979 and grew the business to become one of the UK’s top 25 publishing companies with a turnover of £10 million. It published titles in the areas of complementary health, mind, body and spirit, business, popular psychology and personal development. Ahead of its time, it took risks to introduce new authors and leading edge subjects to the marketplace. Non-fiction authors, who Judy published, included Brian L Weiss, Patrick Holford, Gillian Mckeith, Seth Godin, Jon Kabat- Zinn, Gill Edwards, William Bloom, Marilyn Glenville, Diana Cooper and many more.
