Morgan Gist MacDonald

Morgan began her career in academia, as a Sociologist, but soon found the entrepreneurial pull to take her skills as a researcher, writer, teacher, and leader into building a publishing company, from the ground up. With 15 years’ experience in writing, editing, and publishing books, Morgan leads the Paper Raven Books team in developing the best practices for publishing successfully in the modern, digital age.

At Paper Raven Books, we partner with authors to publish books under their own name so that the author retains the creative vision, legal rights, and profits from the book. In addition to providing content development, comprehensive editing, and professional publication, we offer digital-first book marketing. Our philosophy is that we're here to guide authors in leveraging the best current online marketing practices to, yes, sell more books, and also to grow their readership, so that their readers can easily become customers, clients, and raving fans of all their work.
