The Role of an Associate Publisher, and Why Publishers Like Transformative Storytelling


As an Associate Publisher with the W Publishing Group, a commercial nonfiction imprint of Thomas Nelson, Stephanie Newton defines her role based on the needs of her leadership team. Her role focuses on three main areas 1) book acquisition, 2) leading internal processes, and 3) managing a team of production editors. Newton enjoys being able to contribute to her imprint's growth through a variety of tasks.

At W Publishing Group, Newton and her team are looking for authors that can be missional partners. These are writers trying to inspire the world through transformative storytelling. Their writing focuses on showing people and teaching people, not just telling people their story, Newton says. These writers are looking for a way to teach people to live their lives differently and grow in their faith through story.
