The Challenge

Cheryl Johnson, a nurse, had lived a life marked by early loss, reinvention, and resilience, from losing her father as a child to crossing an ocean to rebuild her life. She wanted to shape that story into a memoir that could offer real hope to readers facing their own hardest chapters.

Our Approach

Our team edited and proofread her manuscript, commissioned original custom illustrations to bring key scenes and her closing letter to life, and carried the book through formatting, publishing, and print production. We also built her author website, with a marketing campaign now underway to support her launch.

The Results

  • Published in print and ebook editions
  • Original custom illustrations commissioned for key chapters and the closing letter
  • Author website launched
  • Marketing campaign underway
In Their Words

“Your girl is officially a published author! To my publisher Peter, your belief in me and my vision makes me stand in places and spaces. Love you Vantage Publishing for seeing something in my pain through a veil I was not even ready to push open.”
