From Hyperion, the publishing arm of Walt Disney, to Hachette, to launching her own IMPRINT, REGALO PRESS.

GRETCHEN YOUNG says "how can I prove to everyone else and to myself that these stories are worthy?" Now that she's working for her own shingle. She has nurtured, coached, mentoried and launched 65 authors. "I've never seen the kind of marketing of an author...the guerrilla marketing, the HUSTLE."

She is releasing a couple new TITLES this month including "Little Red Flags," fiction. She says this author is so hilarious and clever in the way she is getting her book out there to pre-order!

She was in TV NEWS before book publishing and used to be an "ambulance chaser" for the story, for the guests to book for GOOD MORNING AMERICA. Now she is letting the authors help - PR doesn't work so much anymore- millions of books are released each year- for real- so how do you BREAK THRU? "Our authors are hugging each other..it fills my heart!"

Gretchen Young loves to mentor and help writers learn about the book business and she is so proud of the debut authors she has placed on her list.

"I'll walk authors thru the process...whatever I can do!"
