Teresa Velardi is the CEO and founder of Authentic Endeavors Publishing, a hybrid publishing company she launched in 2010. With over 14 years of experience and hundreds of published books, Teresa has dedicated her career to helping authors bring their stories to life. As an editor, author, and passionate advocate for storytelling, she uses her talents to guide others through the transformative process of seeing their words published. Authentic Endeavors began with short-story compilations featuring multiple authors but quickly evolved to support individual writers pursuing their dreams of publishing their own books. Whether it’s helping someone fulfill a lifelong goal or amplifying a compelling story that needs to be shared, Teresa’s mission is to empower authors and make their voices heard.
