Lacey Cope
Marketing Director
A lifelong bibliophile and marketing maven, Lacey was called back to her publishing roots after a chance encounter with Mindy at the neighborhood pool. With four boys all in school, Lacey was lured back to publishing with an offered position as Mindy’s assistant. After two months it became clear that she would be better suited for the role of Marketing Director. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from University of South Carolina Aiken, her experience in television writing, work study position at USC Aiken’s library, along with her early professional career spent as a Publishing Consultant with a self publishing giant gives her a remarkable insight into the inner workings of all avenues in the literary world. She lives, breathes, and loves the authors she serves and is passionate about cultivating and spreading the word about their book babies.
