Dr. Judith M. Newman

Publishing

In 1985 I initiated and developed an in-house publishing enterprise for the Centre for Reading and Language Education at Mount Saint Vincent University. The purpose of this publishing effort was to make available to other educators monographs written by faculty and graduate students. Under my direction the Centre produced and marketed eight monographs in two years.

In April 1992 I began a small publishing company. I registered the name, Braeside Books, obtained ISBN numbers from the National Library, negotiated with designers and printers in order to bring the book to fruition. The result of these efforts is an anthology of poetry – In Our Own Words: Poems by Teachers (Braeside Books, 1993). This book has been a financial success.
