Meet Linda Fulkerson, the owner, and publisher of Expanse Books and Scrivening Press!
USMC veteran Linda Fulkerson became interested in writing while working as a copyeditor and typesetter at a small-town weekly newspaper. She has since been published in several magazines and newspapers, including a two-year stint as a sports writer. Linda is the author of two novels and seven non-fiction books, four of which are coloring books for writers. In 2020, she purchased Mantle Rock Publishing’s backlist as well as acquiring all MRP’s future contracts and founded Scrivenings Press LLC.
Her first book, The Prodigal Daughter (Petit Jean Press), was published in 2003. At that time, Linda was introduced to the world of book marketing and blogging. She soon became a blog coach and marketing consultant, launching the popular instructional blog, On Blogging Well.
While living in Texas, Linda was the online editor of the Killeen Daily Herald and director of digital services for the largest media group in Central Texas. Soon after returning to her home state of Arkansas in 2013, she launched her own digital services company, which focuses on helping authors, speakers, and small business owners develop an effective online presence. Her Ideas to Books brand offers coaching and self-publishing assistance for indie authors. She also owns a graphic design business, Book Marketing Graphics, which builds author websites, designs book covers, and produces video book trailers.
She and her husband, Don, live on a ten-acre plot in central Arkansas. They have four adult children and eight grandchildren. She and Don are part of an RV ministry group that travels to various locations around the United States, providing volunteer labor to small churches, church camps, children’s homes, and other organizations. When she’s not working or writing, Linda enjoys photography, travel, and spoiling her two dachshunds.
Linda speaks to small business owners and writers’ groups on a variety of marketing-related topics, such as blogging, social media management, and website development.
