Diane Windsor is the owner of Motina Books Publishing, which specializes in publishing books by and for mothers. The publishing industry has changed drastically in the last 10 to 20 years, and the majority of authors are required to get out there and market their books. Diane believes that the publisher should help their authors with these efforts through education and guidance. There's always something new to learn when it comes to marketing your book!
