              The Communication Revolution

                  Publishing in the 21st Century

          by Deborah Greenspan

A few hundred years ago, Gutenberg invented the printing press, and the world was changed forever.  No longer were ideas the sole province of the powerful; printing made them accessible to all who could read.  During the twentieth century, literacy exploded, but the ideas printed for the general public were still filtered through powerful institutions.  These “gatekeepers” decided which ideas would be disseminated to the public and which ones would not.   

Today, we’re in the midst of a new revolution.  The advent of digital printing technology has made it possible for anyone to write and print a book.  New ideas, controversial ideas, and old ideas dressed up in new ways are all making their way out into the world.  But the greatest strength of this new technology is also its greatest weakness.  When anyone can print a book, there is no way to guarantee that digitally printed books will be readable.  Many would-be writers couch their thoughts in grammatical constructions that are impossible for others to understand and interpret, and one badly written book casts doubt on all.  That’s why Llumina was created. 

 We believe in the revolution, and are using our skills as writers and editors to help others print well-edited, grammatically correct, easy-to-read books that the public will appreciate.  Our mission is to help writers, at all levels of experience and skill, make their ideas accessible to the world.  

Geronimo Stone

by Craig Stevens and Michael Moore

In this searing drama, learn the seven attributes of “The Mobile of Excellent Management.” This, the first story in the Geronimo Stone Series, takes place at an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee. The once-prosperous company is in chaos when its patriarch, Robert “Geronimo” Stone becomes ill and dies. His family survives the profound personal loss only to face a hostile business war. They encounter so many challenges, so quickly, that it never occurs to them there may have been something peculiar about Geronimo’s death. The family and remaining junior employees struggle against the compounding challenges of their deteriorating business. Together they attempt to stabilize their downward spiraling blues record label, once the envy of the entire music industry. They face major organizational change and restructuring, a hostile takeover attempt, subversive senior employees, and more. See for yourself how they handle this impossible situation with the help of an unusual “mobile” and insightful messages left by Geronimo. Hold on as you race headlong from tragedy to threat, to surprise solution, and glorious celebrations. All the while, learn to handle the most perplexing problems of the 21st Century
