Ruth has worked with me on a personal basis with accounting and record-keeping for over 10 years. Since 2016 she joined my main publishing business and now handles all the accounting through pre-tax submittal and Foreign Rights Administration. The Foreign Rights consists of managing over 200 contracts and looking for more publishers to translate and publish our array of nonviolent communication Titles in other languages.
