E. Keith "JB" Howick, Jr. and his family created WindRiver Publishing in 2003 to publish wholesome family-oriented books and educational non-fiction. Since that time, WindRiver Publishing has created two imprints, Trumpet Media, to sell to the growing Christian market, Silverton House Publishing, to sell to the general trade market, and purchased Mapletree Publishing, which sells to the growing homeschooling and child development markets. JB has reviewed thousands of manuscripts and spent hundreds of hours helping authors understand how to prepare their manuscripts for publishers and agents.
