MRM Project Feature: Expectant Publishing Project

Julie Sanders is passionate about helping women find peace—in life, in ministry, and in family and parenting. True to that passion, in 2013, she authored an encouraging devotional for new and expectant moms and, this year, requested our help refreshing Expectant.

There’s something extra special about working with an author to refresh a previously released book, and working with Julie on the re-release of Expectant: A New Mom’s Devotional – Faith, Encouragement, and Grace for New and Expectant Mothers was no different. We absolutely enjoyed this precious project!

MRM Project Feature: Jill McSheehy Brand & Website Design

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own garden but didn’t know where to begin, The Beginner’s Garden is the perfect resource to get you growing! Created by Jill McSheehy, the website is a treasure trove for beginners who want to learn how to cultivate their own food without the struggles of trial and error and endless research.

During our discovery process with Jill, she noted for us the details she liked about her current branding as well as elements she would like to improve. As the first step of our work together, Karen performed a brand audit to offer professional design input and recommendations for improving The Beginner’s Garden overall brand presence.

MRM Project Feature: Live Inspired Publishing Project

Shirley Desmond Jackson learned from the burnout and emptiness she experienced from years of the self-driven, achievement-based lifestyle. Through studying God’s Word, she began to let go of her self-driven ways and embrace a Spirit-led life. Seeing how the performance-based lifestyle affects women of all ages, ethnicities, and walks of life, Shirley authored her book Live Inspired to share these lessons to help others live freely as God intends.

Thanks to a mutual connection with our fantastic designer, we were introduced to Shirley and her message, which resulted in the perfect partnership.

MRM Project Feature: Chief Flame the Arson Cat Publishing Project

Previous Market Refined Publishing author Ryan Donald partnered with local firefighter Gina Thompson on a mission to teach fire safety to children in their area. The result was an incredibly fun and kid-friendly teaching resource that doubles as a coloring book, showcasing the well-known and ever lovable Chief Flame the Arson Cat.

When Ryan reached out to our team, the content of the book was mostly complete, but he and Gina needed help bringing creating a print-ready version of their vision. This project was definitely a break from our norm, as was Ryan’s previous book Letters to Dogs, and it was super fun flexing our creative muscles again for this one.

MRM Project Feature: Lorie Newman Brand & Website Design

Lorie Newman is a speaker and teacher with a powerful testimony and a passion for “rising up” on behalf of our families. Through tremendous personal loss, Lorie learned to advocate and fight through true spiritual warfare and now provides opportunities for others to do the same through her newly-founded nonprofit Anointed Life Christian Equipping.

Neither Lorie nor her ministry had an online presence prior to this year, and a mutual friend directed her our way. We were able to create a beautiful and functional online space for Anointed Life, provide a professional brand package for the ministry, and establish a donor suite and eStore to help meet the financial needs for the nonprofit.
