We combine a crowdfunding platform, a full 196 roster of suppliers, and project management resources to help you create the book you want.</p> 197 <p> </p> 198 <h2>Why we care</h2> 199 <p>We're publishers, readers, and (secretly) writers. We understand the problems facing today's 200 publishing industry because we deal with them ourselves every day. As publishers, weâve felt what 201 it's like to turn down a promising project because the writer can't cover our fees and how 202 challenging it can be to find reliable suppliers.</p> 203 <p>We understand the overwhelming choices that writers face when it finally comes time to publish. 204 We know how much time, lost sleep, and hand wringing went into those first drafts, and we know how 205 hard it can be to entrust someone else with your work.</p> 206 <p>As readers, we've experienced the excitement of being swept up by a great story and getting lost 207 for a few hours (or days) and how hard it can be to find the writers who can do that. We want 208 every publishing professional to get a ton of work, every writer to publish a professional book 209 that sells well, and every reader to discover a new favorite each day.</p> 210 <p> </p> 211 <h2>Who we are</h2> 212 <h3> </h3> 213 <p></p> 214 <h3 style="font-size:24px">Greg Ioannou</h3> 215 <h4>CEO</h4> 216 <p>Greg Ioannou has been a book editor since 1977.

He's also president 220 of Iguana Books, a hybrid publishing company in Toronto. He has served four terms as president of 221 the Editors Canada, which he helped to found in the late 1970s.</p> 222 <p>When he's not busy running the show, he likes to walk around the office sipping coffee. Outside 223 of the office, he captains a team in a weekly trivia league and has been known to frequent local 224 pubs and stamp auctions.</p> 225 <div class="clearfix"> </div> 226 <p></p> 227 <h3>Jason Morsink</h3> 228 <h4>CFO</h4> 229 <p>

She has her masterâs degree in English 246 from the University of Toronto.</p> 247 <div class="clearfix"> </div> 248 <p></p> 249 <h3>Daniella Postavsky</h3> 250 <h4>Project Lead</h4> 251 <p>Daniella started as an intern at Iguana Books, where she found her footing running the company's 252 social media accounts and coordinating ongoing projects. She spent the next few years doing 253 everything from social media ghostwriting to interning at a public relations agency and 254 volunteering on the communications team for the 2015 Pan Am Games.</p> 255 <p>Daniella holds a BA in English and psychology from the University of Toronto and a certificate in 256 corporate communications and public relations from Centennial College.
