Sounds True Publishing
Waking up the world with life-changing adult nonfiction and children’s books
Bestsellers
We celebrate our bestsellers, but what matters most is the connection between an author and their reader. Our greatest measure of success is every single person whose life is in some way lifted up and transformed by our books and our authors.
About Sounds True Publishing
Every book we publish at Sounds True is in service to our mission to wake up the world. We are real people (and dogs!) bringing our full hearts to every project, and we are committed to working in true partnership with all of our authors, agents, and illustrators to offer genuine tools for transformation.
We want to help people experience a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment, a deeper level of resilience, and a felt connection to our human goodness—and it’s our intention to have our book publishing program align with these values as well.

Sarah’s library card number is memorized and her hiking boots well worn. She loves books that look not only at individual well-being but also at collective healing. She is a devoted and inflexible student of yoga and a devoted and flexible student of life.
Diana Ventimiglia
Executive Editor
Diana Ventimiglia
Executive Editor
Diana’s passionate about all things yoga, rock climbing, and pizza. When she’s not editing, you’ll find her working through the five-plus books on her nightstand and yelling at her cat, Phillip, to stop knocking things off the shelf. But he’s so cute!
Angela Wix
Acquisitions Editor
Angela Wix
Acquisitions Editor
Angela’s goal in life and in books is to feel and heal. Away from the page you’ll probably find her kayaking on a river or at home kissing her dogs. Her spare time is filled with occasional attempts at home décor and frequent searches for the thing she just had in her hand.

Anastasia has kept the acquisitions gears running smoothly at ST since 2015, and has been in love with the written word for much longer. As fluid as her sign, Gemini, she also manages the trade audio list.
Lyric Dodson
Developmental Editor
Lyric Dodson
Developmental Editor
Words are the alpha and omega of Lyric’s creative practice, and mastering the art of sentence crafting is her passion. When she’s not entrenched in a manuscript, she’s most likely lounging with her cat or planning her next travel adventure.
Sahar Al-Nima
Editorial Assistant
Sahar Al-Nima
Editorial Assistant
Sahar’s ultimate dream is to turn her love for reading into a career—this just may be the right first step. When she’s not supporting books through publication, she’s writing, drawing, watching bad TV, and laughing at silly jokes. Probably all at once.

Penny Anna Makras
Marketing Director
A bookworm since a young age, Penny Anna still believes the Scholastic Book Fair was the best part of school. As a grown-up, she loves taking long walks while blasting old-school playlists, eating her way through all five NYC boroughs, and daydreaming about the next beach she’ll visit.

Senior Product Marketing Manager
Christine Day
Senior Product Marketing Manager
As a '70s baby and proud Gen-Xer, Christine loves the word "old school" and gravitates to yacht rock to fuel her nostalgia. She enjoys being a mom, hanging out in bookstores, and making cocktails for friends and family.

Chloé Prusiewicz
Product Marketing Manager
Many call Chloé an “old soul.” She loves classic films, fine food and drink, listening to records, and Danish furniture. One day, she’ll have her own Walden—a cottage in the woods with a pond and maybe a moss garden.
