TITLES BY TADDEO

Ten years in the making, Connect 4 Life: The Story is Melanie Taddeo’s newest publication about the charity she created in 2014. It begins with the author’s personal journey wherein she shares her experiences of losing her sight — but gaining a vision she never had — and turning adversity into advocacy by creating Connect 4 Life, Canada’s only charity of its kind that delivers programs and services to people with disabilities. Beyond the compelling narrative of her personal journey, Melanie shares with readers the challenges and steps involved in creating a registered charity from scratch, developing programs and services for people with disabilities that didn’t overlap those offered by other organizations, and turning a vision for a more inclusive world into a organization that today operates in two countries, several cities, and is accredited by the United Nations in matters related to disability.

TITLES BY O’SULLIVAN

A Harmony of Worlds: Spiritualism and the Quest for Community in Nineteenth-Century America (Published Spring 2022).

Seances, communing with the deceased,  reaching to the great beyond! All the rage in 1800s America.  Spiritualism included figures from Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin to Thomas Edison in a growing movement of people who sought meaning and “larger answers” in life through the paranormal.

This ground-breaking book by Mike O’Sullivan, faithfully reproduced from its original 1981 academic release, considers why Spiritualism – embraced by a who’s who of America’s influential leaders – was among the fastest growing religions in North America. A “time capsule” and “snapshot” of leading research and analysis within the disciplines of religious studies and social ethics, this book addresses why people in nineteenth century America turned to occult-like spiritual guidance for meaning and as an expression of their faith. The answers found in this book, originally assembled more than 40 years ago, are perhaps more relevant than ever.

The Explained! Series

This series of books aims to provide the reader with a concise presentation of each topic that is comprehensive enough to service as a reference guide, compact enough for the busy reader, conversational to a degree that technical terms and topics (such as speaking to large audiences, or putting your creative ideas out there) are rendered more related, yet sufficiently authoritative and instructive that the reader truly walks away with a new skill – or, at least, a new perspective.

The latest Explained! publication by Steven Christianson is a pocketbook that provides modified extractions from Content Creation, Podcasting and Advocacy. The Explained! Pocketbook, published August 25, 2022, is the perfect portable resource that shows how to maximize narrative, harness a medium, employ cutting-edge outreach and make a meaningful impact.

Maximizing Content Creation and Promotion, Podcasting and Advocacy: The Explained! Pocketbook, is a mass market paperback-sized book with about 350 pages. It’s a seamless tapestry on how each of the three independent books work together to form the elements of a production, and it shows how to take an idea, build a narrative, employ cutting-edge promotional and outreach techniques, build a customer and community base, and work with that base to mobilize positive efforts for social or political change.
