At Ripples Media, our Purpose is to fill the world with authentic and powerful stories that inspire positive change.
We are a community-driven book publisher, working with amazing business leaders to help them tell their unique story to the world.
Great leaders have unique perspectives to share. But traditional publishers are often too slow, too rigid, and too impersonal. We knew there must be a better way.
Ripples Media provides leaders—from founders to CMOs to non-profit directors—with an opportunity to share their voice. We work closely with each author to make publishing a book more fulfilling, providing one-on-one support during each stage of the process—writing, editing, design, and marketing. We help turn ideas on leadership, social impact, and self-discovery into award-winning titles, providing a unique platform for our writers.
Along the way, our unique community of fellow authors is also there to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.
