Book Extract
"For years now I have been asking myself the same question? How can I cure the world of mental illness? I don't know how exactly but there is this manic impulse within me wanting it to happen. I used to think that if I could not help everyone who contacted me then it was my fault. I had failed somehow. This is not the case. It is not realistic to be able to help everyone. It took me five years of publishing to realise this.
The objective of this book is to show how Chipmunkapublishing helps people, so what better way to have words from me As CEO trying to sanitise my own manic utopian vision and then include 500 words from over 20 authors about how writing and publishing has helped them.
I know that wanting to help others is somehow a cathartic process and justifies my own label and coming to terms with being labelled a manic depressive for the rest of my life. I knew that I wanted to help people as soon as I realised my own madness six weeks into a six month stretch of my first manic episode at the age of 17 in 1992.
My utopian and manic vision to want to eliminate the world from mental illness actually turned into my day job as CEO of Chipmunkapublishing. Little did I know how much work there was to do... It was a good job I met Andrew Latchford who was equally as determined as myself to somehow make a different and improve people's lives. I know somehow that my task is impossible but I wouldn't be challenging myself or doing other people justice if I did not aim to have a positive impact on the highest number of people.
Chipmunkapublishing has a system that works for many people. In our own small way we are making a positive impact in the lives of many of our authors, their families and many of our readers.
We will continue to grow and inspire others through our work by trying and develop our organisation so it is more transparent, more professional and more effective as technology advances, the publishing industry changes and people's requirements evolve.
