At Ripples Media, our Purpose is to fill the world with authentic and powerful stories to 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 startup founders to CMOs to non-profit directors, with an opportunity for their voice to be heard. 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, innovation, and self-discovery into award-winning titles, providing a unique platform for our writers. Along the way, our group of fellow authors is also there to provide support, guidance, and community.

Publishing a book changed my life. I had 200 blog posts and no one was inviting me to speak on TV until I wrote a book.
