The Premise

We always admire someone who forges their own path, and doesn't take, 'No', for an answer. Because that's kind of what it takes to make it— in the world of publishing and beyond. This is especially true when you're a woman. So that's what Brooke Warner did. After seeing so many women's stories left untold, she founded a publishing company dedicated to giving voice to the voiceless.
