The heart of a publisher. The soul of a publicist.
The founder of Alexemi Publishing is Cheryl Wilder Krass.
For as long as she can remember, she has had a passion
for publishing. Coupled with a love of writing and
marketing; publishing was the natural next step in
Cheryl's entrepreneurial career path.
Throughout her career in advertising and marketing, Cheryl's favorite projects were those that allowed her to be on press; checking proofs, talking to the pressmen, and touring the offset machinery to learn all that she could. When she started her Virtual Assistance practice she immediately gravitated toward authors and marketers as her ideal clients. Writing + publishing + marketing = the perfect mix for Cheryl.
When her daughter came up with a great children's book concept, Cheryl just knew it had to be a book and it needed to be published while her daughter was still young. After researching traditional publishers, she decided to apply the expertise from her background and her skills as an author's assistant, and start her own publishing company named for her two children, Alexander and Emily. This allowed her to maintain total control over the project and make her daughter's book a reality.
In working with some of her author clients in her VA business, she soon came to the realization that Alexemi could publish their books as well if the strategies of those authors fit in with the philosophy and capabilities of Alexemi. She also now offers Virtual Publishing Assistant (VPA) services through Alexemi for authors regardless of where they choose to publish.
And with that, a publishing company was born!
