North Carolina is home to some of the most respected publishing houses in the country. These organizations have shaped literary culture, elevated powerful voices, and contributed meaningfully to the national conversation around books and storytelling. As I reflect on where Monarch Educational Services fits within this landscape, I do so with both deep respect and a clear sense of calling. I also…

A professional host uses high-quality audio and lighting to lead an engaging online coaching webinar. For years, educators may feel they are “just teachers.” Just teachers.Just professors.Just coaches.Just people doing meaningful work behind the scenes. But that is not the full truth. Educators carry frameworks, stories, strategies, lessons, and life-changing wisdom that people desperately…

If you have ever wondered what it looks like behind the scenes of a family-owned publishing company, I can tell you it is not all polished desks, perfectly lined up bookshelves, and quiet afternoons. Sometimes it is a dog wrapped in a blanket like royalty, a living room that turns into an editing studio, and a kitchen that smells like peanut butter because someone in our house has very serious…

But many times, what is actually happening is simpler and deeper. Noise has crept into the writing space. When the thief of noise knocks on the door and there is no protection against it, it will kill,…

There are moments in life when you can feel the nudge before you can fully explain it. A quiet stirring. A gentle pull. A thought that keeps returning even when you try to stay busy with everything else. For many of us, that nudge sounds like this: I think I’m supposed to write a book. Not because we want attention. Not because we have everything figured out. But because God does not place…

There are moments in a small business journey that feel like milestones, and then there are moments that feel like God moments. The kind where you pause, look back, and realize how far you’ve come. Then you look ahead, and you can feel that a new season is beginning. At Monarch, we are stepping into one of those moments. We are excited to share that we are preparing to expand our publishing…

There are stories that live deep inside us—stories that don’t fade with time, even when life pushes them into the background. Twenty Weeks to Life is one of those stories.
