Where are they? MSI Press Author: Ekaterina Filatova (Understanding the People around You)

 

MSI Press authors are located all over the world. Getting to know the authors can also mean getting to know a new part of the world. We have been sharing this information on a regular basis. Follow us and map our authors' locations.

The famous Dr. Ekaterina Filatova introduced socionics to the Eastern world -- and through MSI Press to the Western world. MSI Press published her first and only book in English. 

Katya was a professor at St. Petersburg University (formerly, Leningrad State University) in Russia. Our editor (who speaks Russian) and Katya (who did not speak English) were friends and met from time to time in "Piter" (as the Russians colloquially call the city).

St. Petersburg is known for many things. One of the most beautiful cities of the world, it was the capital of Russia during the days of Peter the Great (hence, the name of the city). It is often called the Venice of Russia because of the canals throughout the city (and you do not want to be caught on the wrong side of the river at 2:00 in the morning when all the bridges go up; you just have to find a place to rest on the sidewalk or in an archway (like I did once) until the bridges come down at 5:00. A literate city (home to many universities) and historical city (the people there survived Hitler's blokade in WWII), St. Petersburg has many claims to fame. Check it out HERE.

In Memoriam: Carl Don Leaver

  1948-2021 It is with great sadness that MSI Press notes the death of Carl Leaver, CEO of the Press and typesetter and graphic designer par excellence . Many authors have expressed not only condolences but also a sense of legacy from covers he designed that they love.  Here is his obituary: On August 16, 2021, Carl Don Leaver of San Juan Bautista passed into eternal rest. A forester with the US Forest Service in Idaho and Montana, he turned to nature photography while working in the Bitterroot National Forest. His photographs graced national magazine covers and on a weekly basis the local paper of Hamilton, MT, the Ravalli Republican. He later worked on photography projects for the US Army (AFEES) and taught photography at the New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan. His final career change led him to computer graphics and publishing as co-owner of MSI Press LLC; his many typeset books and book covers have helped MSI Press authors win a large number of awards over the years,

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Book Marketing vs Book Promotion

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors.
