Quotes

After implementing EOS over the past year, we continue to grow. It has onboarded our team members in a much more effective way, and then it also shows them that burnout is not a celebrated, award-winning opportunity here. We don’t do that. We work to openly communicate and create transparency and trust across each department.” (17:18) – Derek Gerber

A year ago, when we were growing quickly at a state of point, we put out a couple of job applications. We had four applicants over six weeks—at a time where we needed to hire people very quickly. Now, [after implementing EOS] we had 600 applications in four days, and we had to shut it down.” (41:40) – Derek Gerber

Whether you have aspirations of being an author or helping authors achieve their book publishing dream, the path to publishing is never a straight line.

In this episode of the Pub Date podcast, Dr. Jen Dorsey and Vanessa Campos talk with Maria Dismondy on her journey to becoming a publisher. Maria started out in the classroom years before writing ten books. She loved getting powerful messages into the world through realistic fiction and saw a need to have more diverse books for children. So much that she began Cardinal Rule Press in 2015. There Maria uses her experiences as an award-winning author to work with writers on getting their messages into the world. She takes pride in mentoring Cardinal Rule Press authors and offering a customized marketing campaign that her team coordinates and implements.
