Company Overview

Twelve Star Publishing (TSP) was established in 1994 by Nancy McCarthy to publish Searching for Light: Michael's Information for a Time of Change. The author, publisher, and graphic artist of Searching for Light met on an electronic bulletin board. The company was established, and the book was designed, typeset, and released in five short months, and the principals had never even met in person.

Drawing upon ten years of traditional small business experience with the vision of a NEW business paradigm, TSP was created as a model for business in the future. Our projects are cooperative efforts in which responsibilities and risks are shared, as well as the joy of accomplishment and profits from the finished work.

Everyone involved in the production of a work is a partner, and contributes whatever skills, interests and abilities they have to offer. Authors play an important role in designing and promoting their books. This is a people-first company.

Our mission is the distribution of information which promotes holistic lifestyles and metaphysical thinking among open-minded individuals. Twelve Star Publishing is working to bridge the gap between mainstream and metaphysics.

Searching for Light has been reviewed extremely well, and is in its second printing. A Finnish edition was released in 1999. Enlightened Parenting: Becoming an Enlightened Parent by Anne Irwin is the second title created by TSP. A GBC bound version is currently available in English. A German edition was released in 1999. Additional projects are underway, and TSP welcomes inquires from individuals who are interested in becoming equity partners.

From October 96 through July 98 TSP published earthlight! a bi-monthly magazine serving communities in central Maryland, and nearby PA, VA, DC, and WV. Nearly 100 articles are available online. Each issue featured thought-provoking articles by local and national authors, calendar of events, and display advertising for businesses that promote wellness and a high quality of life.
