Tomlinson Press
Tomlinson Press was founded with a simple mission: to make self-publishing truly professional. As a fellow writer and book-lover, I understand how overwhelming the publishing process can feel. That's why I created a full-service boutique publishing support company that provides the same quality and care you'd expect from a traditional publisher - without giving up your creative control or your royalties.
Whether you're a first-time author or a seasoned writer, we treat every project with the attention and expertise it deserves.
Our Commitment:
* Fair Pricing
* Personal Service
* Excellence

Mudsley the Turtle has a Problem by Gloria Tomlinson (Available on Amazon)
Mudsley the Turtle has a Problem was a very special project for Tomlinson Press. Kelli's older cousin is married to Gloria, hence the same last name as Tomlinson Press.
Gloria Tomlinson is a retired educator with more than 25 years of experience inspiring young minds in Texas classrooms. A lifelong learner, she attended Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Tx for a while, then Brazosport College in Lake Jackson, Tx and the University of Houston-Clear Lake, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.
Throughout her career, Gloria taught first grade at Kendleton Elementary, where she guided students through reading, math, science, history, and spelling for ten years. She later served as a special education teacher for grades 3-5 at Brawner Middle School in Granbury, Texas. She brought patience, creativity, and heart to students with diverse learning needs.
After her full-time teaching career, she spent eight years as a substitute teacher at Brady Elementary and Middle Schools, supporting students and staff in every role imaginable - from the library and computer lab to the principal's office, nurse's office, and physical education.
Now retired, Gloria has turned her lifelong love of teaching and storytelling into writing. Her debut children's book reflects the same warmth, imagination, and dedication she brought to the classroom, aiming to inspire and delight young readers everywhere.
Gloria hopes her debut book reminds children and adults that it's never too late to follow your dreams!
