Helm Publishing
Dianne Helm is President and owner of Helm Publishing, founded in 1998. She fell into publishing by meeting an employee at one of her project management assignments. After an employee approached her with a manuscript he had been working on, he asked if she would edit the copy, she not only edited but offered to serve as his agent for query submission. After 250 rejection letters, Dianne stepped back and started submitting to publishing houses. After another 250 rejection letters, she decided the work was just too good to let go. She formed Helm Publishing in 2000, and published the first manuscript. Dianne was hooked. Since then she receives over 2000 manuscripts a year, and publishes about 2% of all queries received. Her authors live all over the USA and Dianne travels to trade shows, festivals, and publishing events, supporting and helping to provide promotion for books and the passion she has for reading.
