We created Belle Press in 2003 to market and distribute Facing the Mirror with Cancer   A Guide to Using Makeup to make a Difference. The decision to self-publish was driven by several issues:

	We are able to control the quality of the book.
	50% of our personal profits are going to cancer research. It is important to use methods of distribution that are a fraction of the cost of traditional distribution channels.go to Distribution and Retail Outlets
	We are able to direct our publicity resources to supporting cancer-related charities and foundations through sponsorship of worthwhile events. For example, we sponsored the Kroger-St. Jude ATP Tennis Tournament at the Racquet Club of Memphis in February and we are a platinum sponsor of the Lance Armstrong Foundation "Live to Ride Gala: in Austin, Texas in April.

What makes Belle Press so special is the person who is Belle. My grandmother, Belle Michel, was an extraordinary woman who made an enormous positive impact in my life. She remains ever dear in my heart. Our publishing house is named in her honor and her memory.
