Gay Finkelman Genie Publishing Lakeland E-mail: Gay Finkelman |

Gay Finkelman has a B.A. from the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill. She spent 20 years in Commercial and Industrial Real Estate before moving to Lakeland, Florida in 1993 where she started Genie Publishing.
Genie's specialty of publishing people's life stories has grown by word of mouth. Some clients write their entire manuscripts themselves, while others retain Genie to tape their stories, write them and publish them. Gay started publishing books because her retired C.P.A. husband turned out to be a prolific poet-philosopher--her first four books were his poetry collections. She also set up a "Poem of the Day" website, which today is a separate section on the Genie website. It contains 400 of his rhyme and meter poems. "There is no way to describe the satisfaction I get from delivering publications that exceed the expectations of my clients," says Gay. "I know what from first hand experience what a thrill it is to open that box and see the completed book you've dreamed of smiling back at you after weeks of work--and years of dreams." Gay is a Certified Soleil Lifestory Network Affiliate. For a full schedule of her upcoming programs and offerings, please visit her website, www.geniepub.com. |
