Hello,
At the end of last year we suspended the publication
of our well-read magazine - NAPRA ReView. Originally our purpose
was to stop our usage of paper, printing, and postage. Unlike
a book, a magazine is a more "disposable" item, and
we needed to become more economically sustainable. It was also
important for us to downsize everything about the business as
we looked for a partner or investor in order to maintain the
company.
In the meantime, with a greatly downsized
operation and no publication deadlines to meet, I began to rebuild
another business that I owned prior to the Founding of NAPRA.
This business, Marilyn McGuire & Associates, Inc. offered
private consulting and coaching for publishers, authors, and
others in the Body/Mind/Spirit industry. The joy of getting
back to having the time to spend in one-to-one relationship
with creative people has now got my full attention – and
I have made the decision to reestablishing myself in this work
and to expand it to include a broader array of marketing opportunities
and exhibiting services - and more. I have gathered a group
of experienced, professional editors, web designers, publicists,
and others who are joining me to help you with your writing,
publishing, marketing needs – and more.

As
we continue to support and applaud all of you who are writing,
publishing, and/or selling books and other products that offer
ideas and options for a better, more sustainable world, I am reminded
of what my friend and author, Dr. Jean Houston once said of the
work we are all doing in this genre.
“You folks are creating a new curriculum
for the people in this world who are yearning for a new story.”
God knows the world needs for all of us to keep
doing this work.
