About Meredith Maslich

Meredith on the faculty at SpeakeasyDC and has been teaching the art of storytelling for more than 6 years. Meredith is also the Managing Editor for the SpeakeasyDC blog, which gave her the experience of seeking out compelling narratives, but also making sure they are delivered and then marketed for maximum exposure. Her first experience with publishing was Sell More Easily, which she also ghost wrote with her dad, Howard Maslich.  She found that navigating the self-publishing world was both harder and more invigorating than expecting. When she was approached by Victor Garlock to help him publish his book Your Genius Within, she realized that while any author could use these same tools to publish their book, it required a lot of time and attention and had a steep learning curve. She decided to gamble on the idea that there were authors who didn’t want to mess with the nitty gritty of publishing and so Possibilities Publishing Company was born.
