Martha Stewart to Publish Business How-to Book

Posted on July 14, 2005

Martha Stewart, the creator and founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO), will author Martha's Rules, a business handbook which will provide advice about how to find one's own entrepreneurial voice and turn one's skills and passions into a successful business venture. The book will be published by Rodale in October 2005.

"My goal with this book is to help people turn their passions into successful businesses, as I did myself through many of the things I learned over the years," said Martha Stewart. "While the advice I impart in the book was developed through my own experiences as an entrepreneur, many of the examples I provide can apply to anyone about to start or build or expand a venture, whether it is a business, a philanthropic endeavor, or a personal improvement program."

Martha Stewart is certainly no stranger to the publishing world. In addition to Martha's Rules, Martha Stewart has authored and edited several books about cooking, decorating and entertaining.
