Open Heart Publishing is an organization built upon the idea of creating opportunities. By creating new opportunities for publication and presentation Open Heart Publishing dares to push the envelope one step further by creating a unique synergy that can be only defined as magical.

Current Projects due for release in 2009

The Opportunity

Birthed from a spirit of Philanthropy, Open Heart Publishing works hand in hand with youth organizations to instruct the future generations about the positive changes they can make in the world around them, as well as the limitless opportunity their lives will offer them so long as they are willing to look for those opportunities. Through the crafts of writing, art, editing, marketing and publishing these groups create a book the children then sell, 100% of the profits benefit a charity of the children’s choosing.
This program is called “the Opportunity”.
The first release from “the Opportunity” project will be available in November 2009.
