About Angela Grace
They say Angela was born with a book in her hand. That would certainly explain her lifelong passion for books, the hours she spent reading after bedtime by night light as a child, and her unreasonably extensive book collection. Angela has always been a voracious reader, even reading cereal boxes if she was desperate. She is passionate about the environment, equality and justice, and loves books of all kinds but especially stories that include a little magic, a little humor, and a little love.
As an adult Angela has worked in an eclectic series of positions, including creative director, tech sales training writer, magazine layout artist, indie music promoter, programmer/analyst and user interface designer. With a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State University she has worked with a variety of high-tech companies including Hewlett-Packard, Waggener Edstrom, Microsoft, The White House, and wine.com. As a serial entrepreneur she has owned multiple companies including a web development company in the 1990s, a creative media company in the 2000s, a bookstore in the 2010s, and now a publishing company.
Angela is a published author, award-winning screenwriter, and insightful editor. Now that she’s the co-owner of a publishing company she is excited to publish beautiful books with great stories and helpful information. She says that if the books she and her partner publish change even one person’s life it’ll be worth it. She has high standards and demands excellence from herself and the authors she works with, but don’t worry—she’s nice about it.
“I want to publish the kinds of books that I would want to read, whether that’s a great story or an indispensable guide. Beautifully produced books that are delightful to read. That’s my goal. Along the way I want to include a diversity of voices and make both our authors and readers feel like partners and collaborators. If we can achieve that, I will feel like we have succeeded.”
“Books were my best friends growing up. They helped me survive my childhood and my early 20s. They were a comfort, a place to escape, to learn, to imagine and to dream. Time to make some new friends.”
