Opal Publishing History
In August 2000 my mother self-published her book, The Many Waters, and I was privileged to help her with the marketing. My mother was a pioneer and courageously chose to step into the future long before the present was ready for her thoughts and ideas. I grew up in a home where books were plentiful.
The experience I had when helping my mother market books was exciting and it steered my interests to helping other authors promote their books. I started a book review service that eventually turned into a newsletter that I distributed to the Calgary Library branches, and that short newsletter very quickly turned into a magazine. In 2008 I got my dream job as the Senior Editor for Great News Publishing where I worked for the next 8 years until 2017.
Opal magazine wasn’t officially named ‘Opal’ until shortly before my mother passed away in 2015. In honor and in memory of my close relationship with her, I decided to name my business Opal, after our birthstones.
