Meet Marv Weidner

“For a writer publishing for the first time, Ballast Books has been the perfect partner for me. It is very easy to be overwhelmed by the publishing juggernaut. Ballast Books handled everything from developing the finished manuscript and layout, to printing, distribution and marketing strategies. The publisher himself, Andy Symonds, is accessible for advice, coaching and a great help when decisions need to be made. Breanne Beightol, their marketing pro, has been terrific to work with and has secured numerous guest appearances on podcasts and conferences. These folks are the best, full stop.”

Marv Weidner lives in the beautiful, mountainous Gunnison Valley of Western Colorado and is a volunteer with Living Journeys, a local not-for-profit organization providing services and support to cancer patients and their families and caregivers. He is a proud father and grandfather to his and Marty’s children.
