Collette Portis & Co. LLC was founded in April 2015. After witnessing the success and failures of the many entrepreneurs in her family and her experience creating growth in corporate America, small businesses, and non-profits, Collette Portis began to realize that her family's story and her experience needed to be shared. So, she began to write. After completing her manuscript, she was faced with the challenge of finding a publisher that would allow her to maintain the majority of the money made from her books, finding an editor that wouldn't charge her large sums of money and she know that there had to be more to authoring a book than just writing it and waiting for someone to purchase it.
After much research and interviewing many publishers, Collette set out to self publish her works. Along the way, she discovered to there were some things missing in the market such as helping independent/self-published authors understand how to build a business and a brand around their literary works. Ms. Portis then took the skills she used as a Master Business Coach & Strategist and built Collette Portis & Co. LLC as a place that independent author's could come to get assistance with completing their manuscript, publishing, and branding their work.
