My guest this week is Brenda Knight - publisher for Cleis Press and Viva Editions. She is also an author. Her latest book is called, "Be A Good In The World". She was also part of the team who made the world a better place with Random Acts of Kindness.

Brenda went from almost being a buyer for a merchant marine to talking her way into a job at Harper-Collins (working for Rupert Murdoch, which is a story for a different podcast) and about eight years later moved into indie publishing and eventually over to Cleis Press – which is about to celebrate 35 years of being in business this summer.
