When I first began Prospect Park Books ten years ago, not for a minute did I imagine it would still be in business today, let alone have grown from a regional guidebook publisher into a national house focusing on fiction, cookbooks, and gift titles. Sure, I cranked out a business plan or two along the way, but it's mostly been a seat-of-the-pants ride. We've survived some intense challenges (cancer, gaining and losing a business partner, running out of money) to reach some wonderful highs (bestsellers, awards, critical acclaim, and, most of all, working with exceptional people).
This milestone has had me reflect a lot on the journey. In the process, I've come up with ten lessons I've learned after ten years of running a small press.
