Richard Fitt - Editor - is the founder and driving force behind the company and has been working full time for the company since its inception. Starting life as an industrial chemist in the leather trade more 'moons' ago than he cares to remember, Richard has had entrepreneurial business ventures into financial services, catering, web design and has even owned a men's clothing shop.

In 1992 he wrote a book for which, as he discovered, it was extremely hard to find either an agent or a publisher, so when the opportunity arose to start his own publishing company he jumped at the idea; the rest, as they say, is history.

When not publishing, Richard spends his time acting and directing for the local theatre - a hobby he has participated in for over 30 years. He was also chairman of St Neots Players for 4 years 2006 - 2010.

Alex Kerr - Press Releases - Alex, who moved to New Zealand with her Kiwi husband in 2000 has been helping our authors to write their press releases since 2009.
