The Greenleaf Book Group Distributes The Great Mrs. Claus

The Greenleaf Book Group based in Austin, TX now distributes The Great Mrs. Claus book for The Claus Family Christmas, LLC.

Greenleaf Book Group (GBG) is a publisher and distributor that specializes in the development of independent authors and the growth of small presses. In addition to the books they publish, they distribute select titles from small and independent publishers to major trade outlets, including bookstores, libraries, and airport retailers.

Justin Branch, Senior Consultant with GBG, said this about The Great Mrs. Claus, “We look for the same things in the books we accept that book buyers at national retailers look for: strong marketing efforts, solid author credentials, and above all, a quality product. We see all three in your book. The high-end production quality and the enjoyable storyline make the book attractive to consumers, and the unique addition of activities and the creative illustrations increase its value. We are excited to work with you!”

To date, The Great Mrs. Claus has been purchased by several national distributors including Ingram and Baker & Taylor. Sales have also been made to several regional gift store chains. It looks to be an exciting year! My thanks go out to all the competent and supportive folks at Greenleaf.

Upcoming 2008 Booksignings

Sheridan looks like “Santa’s Workshop” in the evening. The lighted trees and ornaments are mesmerizing. See you there!

I’m looking forward to working with Arlene and her courteous staff at this open house event. The city of Burbank creates a wonderful atmosphere for shoppers to breeze in and out of shops in this Magnolia area of Burbank just a few blocks north of Warner Bros. studio lot. Sheridan Gardens has done a fantastic job with the decorating this year. I hope to meet you and make your “The Great Mrs. Claus” a heartfelt keepsake book for years to come. cs
