Hello, I'm Danielle.

Books and reading have always been my life blood. I can't imagine not having two or three books on the go at the same time.

Starting my working life as a non-fiction buyer for Heffers Bookshop in Cambridge allowed me to feed that passion. A switch into life on the road as a Publishing Sales Rep for Lonely Planet, amongst others, saw me further immersed in the world of publishing and sales. A couple of redundancies later I moved into Learning and Development roles, eventually retraining as a Pilates teacher and running my own business. But the lure of the book world is strong, and I kept my connections in the industry over the years.

As a business owner interested in personal development, I've read a lot of business books: the good, the bad, and the ones I really wish I hadn't wasted my time on. I've met many wonderful entrepreneurs who know that writing a book could help them achieve their business goals, but who don't know where to start, what to write about, or whether they have it in them. (Hint: they do.) That's why I created Emmer Publishing, to bring the specialists together to work with them on getting their ideas down on paper, and to use my own skills in support and accountability. I truly believe that self-publishing, and the control it gives you over what you write and what you do with that writing, is the best route for most business owners.
