Williams, Nancy E.: - The Laurus Company, Inc. (TLC) is owned and operated by Nancy E. Williams, a businesswoman, graphic designer, and book editor whose career spans over three decades. In 1980, Nancy opened Graphic Professionals, Inc., a commercial graphics and design studio in Atlanta, Georgia. Her 100+ clients appreciated the benefits of her editing and writing skills as she corrected and improved their printed materials. While operating Graphic Professionals, Nancy landed a contract to edit and typeset Christian books. She knew she had found her niche. After closing the graphics company in the mid-90s, she continued her work as a freelance book -editor, designer, and web developer. With a heart for helping people, she was grieved when she saw new authors struggling to find the right resources for publishing and/or printing their books. She watched as some of them made unwise decisions and others fell prey to unscrupulous and greedy vendors. She knew she had knowledge and experience that could get them published without losing their shirts in the process. Nancy has stated that most first-time authors are like fish out of water struggling to survive on a beach full of cats. Nancy's decision was made. In May 2009, she incorporated and with the help of her daughter, Diana L. Meadows, hung out her shingle as "The Laurus Company, Inc." a full-service publishing company operating as an author advocate. Nancy is married with five grown children and a wallet full of grand-pics.
