Educated at Tufts University, with a year at the University of Tübingen in Germany, she holds two master’s degrees in teaching and in German language and literature. As a foreign language teacher and a test-prep tutor, she is aware of the common pitfalls in grammar and writing conventions to which English speakers are prone.

Amy Trainor

Amy Trainor: Assistant Editor

A graduate of nearby Davidson College, Amy Trainor came to Warren Publishing in December 2007 as the company's Sales and Marketing Representative. Together, she and Cathy created and launched new marketing packages for Warren's clients that allow them to help shape their own marketing plan. Amy currently works behind the scenes as one of Warren's top editors.

Webster Lupton

Webster Lupton: Copy Editor.

As a former copy editor for a major newspaper, Webster’s motto is a simple one: "Get it right." By that, I mean facts first. The five Ws are the soul of non-fiction. The most talented non-fiction writer has his credibility weakened if a name is misspelled, a date misplaced, or an event is inaccurately described. The most important facts should be double-checked and any controversial material, triple-checked. Webster’s book, A Place to Play won the Willie Parker Peace Award for best history books in 2008. He is shown accepting his award.

Tori Singleton

Tori Singleton: Marketing and Sales Associate

A graduate of Western Carolina University, she majored in Professional Writing and hopes to one day be published herself. Tori works tirelessly for our authors, assisting them in setting up book signings, contacting retail and wholesale buyer and much more.

Cathy Brophy

Cathy Brophy:President

Cathy continues to love the editing process. When possible, she actually likes to delve into the most complicated manuscripts, medical topics being her favorite. And her background as a successful children’s book author makes her especially sensitive to helping the author bring out his/ her unique story.

Client Services Team

Deb Mitchell: Personal Assistant to Cathy Brophy

Deb heads up our client services team. She brings an impressive background in customer contact. And her impressive writing skills are regularly exhibited in such publications as, Today's Charlotte Woman, Lake Norman Women and Currents, to name a few.

Amanda Frias: Client Services Representative

Don’t let Amanda’s soft voice fool you. She is tireless when it comes to making sure our authors get the best in quality service.

Design and Layout Team

Pace Clem: Designer

Pace continues to amaze us at Warren. His ability to ‘read’ an author's ‘yet to be created’ cover image is astounding. He leaves our authors saying, “How did he know what I had only imagined?!”

Gracia Bennes: A book cover is a story unto itself and if done well, encourages the buyer to pick up the book and further explore. As a designer, illustrator, and photographer, Gracia loves the challenge and excitement of seeing the cover come to life in an eye catching, creative manner which clearly represents the author’s concept or message. Her design work includes first time and established authors, children’s books as well as business, and academic and trade publications.

Jason Hendrikson:

Jason Hendrickson is an illustrator, graphic designer, and art director with a focus on detailed, high-quality print design. A classically-trained fine-artist, his illustration work ranges from the hand-drawn and painted variety to digital vector and photographic illustration. He resides, works, and shows in galleries in Cornelius, NC and the surrounding areas.
