Profile Information

Something About Me and My Book:: I am a stay-at-home Mom of 3 small children and former high school Spanish teacher. When I decided to stay home 4 years ago, I started a Spanish language business where I taught Spanish Immersion Weekends to adult learners. Two children later, it became harder to get away from the house, so I self-published the materials I created and am now selling them to continuing education programs (community colleges, community adult ed programs, churches, etc.) across the country.

My company, Pronto Spanish, has 2 main lines of Spanish materials. The first line, ¡A Conversar! (which means "Let's chat!" in Spanish) is a 4-level Spanish conversation series that is geared towards the adult learner who wants to learn conversational Spanish in a fun and relaxed manner. Very little grammar is involved in these books.

My most recent line is ¡A Trabajar! A Guide to Occupational Spanish. This is a workbook designed to teach Spanish in the workplace, for those employees who supervise Spanish-speakers or have Spanish-speaking clients and customers.

We also offer "Pronto Guides," which go along with the occupational Spanish book. These are 4-page Guides (includes an audio CD) of 550+ common Spanish words and phrases used in various industries. So far, our Pronto Guides include:

Spanish for Construction
Spanish for Educators
Spanish for Food Service
Spanish for Health Care
Spanish for Hospitality
Spanish for Human Resources

I am very new to the publishing business and am very interested in learning new marketing techniques and expanding to different markets.

I think your expertise could be of interest to people on my new and fast-growing Self Publishing group here on BMN. Everybody thinks self-publishing means putting out a book from lulu and starting a blog, but you make it obvious that there are a lot of different media out there, and that you can build on success with more books.
Come on by, if you would, help build this resource.
