We were on a Zoom call a few weeks ago.
Dr. Dorina Sackman-Ebuwa was on the screen. Former Florida Teacher of the Year. A complete force of nature.
She was talking about her upcoming book. And she said something that stuck with me.

She said she finally felt comfortable sharing her publishing journey. Because she knew we would support her process. And still let her remain her fully authentic self.
That is a big deal.
In education, experts spend years building proven solutions. Dorina has spent her career researching what it takes for educators to show up for their students.
Capable. And present. And whole.
But getting those ideas out of a notebook and into the world? It usually requires handing over the keys to a traditional publisher. Partners who want to sand down your edges. Partners who value speed over getting the work right.
That kind of work takes time. It takes courage to protect.
Teachers shouldn’t have to compromise who they are to get published. They need partners who will champion them. Partners who will champion their ideas.
We are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Dorina. We are building The Pine Tree Path. A hardcover book. And a companion workbook.
The pine tree earns its place at the center of this work. It bends without breaking. It grows through every season.
That is the educator Dorina has been writing for. The teacher who keeps showing up. Who carries more than she shows.
We want to celebrate this partnership by pulling back the curtain. We want you to see what it actually looks like for an educator to go through the publishing process. Without losing their voice.
Join the inner circle to follow Dorina’s journey from manuscript to market.
