ABOUT
THE PUBLISHER AND CO-EDITOR
Over
a century ago, George Bernard Shaw declared, "I would rather
burn out than rust out." This passion for life, work and
understanding is characteristic of Dawson Church.
Dawson
has played a leading role in the publishing industry for two decades.
As co-founder of Aslan Publishing, he mentored many new authors,
and published first books by several best-selling authors, including
Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and James Tywman (Emissary
of Love). As CEO of Atrium Publishers Group, he grew sales from
$2 million to over $8 million, and published or distributed over
five thousand new titles over the course of more than ten years.
As Publisher of Celebrity Press, he published such leading titles
as The Year's Best Science Fiction and Christmas With Elvis. He
has worked on collaborative projects with many New York publishers
and imprints, including Dell, Bantam and Penguin. Today he assists
authors with self-publishing through the Author’s Publishing
Cooperative, where he coordinates a support team of industry-seasoned
veterans.
Dawson’s
ideas about the role of small presses in the information industry,
and about the explosion of electronic publishing, have influenced
many companies. In a 1994 article in the leading industry journal,
he was among the first to describe in detail how wideband online
publishing would take shape in everyday use.
Dawson
co-founded one of the earliest online book distribution companies
(Books2u) in 1993, and led efforts by independent presses to obtain
the same thorough distribution enjoyed by large publishing conglomerates.
He has been honored several times with the Benjamin Franklin award
for publishing excellence. Dawson immigrated to the US in 1977.
His father was a missionary evangelist, and Dawson's British roots
were tempered by schooling in the US and Southern Africa.
In
2004 he edited and co-authored a seminal collection of essays
on healing called The Heart of Healing featuring such
best-selling authors as Joan Borysenko, Bernie Siegel, Dean Ornish,
Deepak Chopra, James Dillard, and Jeanne Achterberg. He is also
author of Communing With the Spirit of Your Unborn Child
(Aslan, 1988, revised 2004) and Facing Death, Finding Love
(Aslan, 1994). His articles have been published in The Los Angeles
Times, Publishers Weekly and elsewhere. He is involved as a volunteer
with the delivery of social services in his community, and has
for many years volunteered or served as President of The Family
Connection, a project that supports homeless families making the
transition to permanent housing.
