A graduate of Alma College and a lifelong Michigander, Jerrold R. Jenkins worked as a financial and investment management group account executive before founding Jenkins Group in 1988 as Publisher’s Design Service and Publisher’s Distribution Service. In 1994, he sold his interest in Publisher’s Distribution Service, retaining his interest and position as owner and president of Publisher’s Design Service. In 1995, the corporate name became Jenkins Group Inc. New staff came on board, and the company purchased SmallPress magazine, now known as Independent Publisher. At that time, Jerrold also began two publishing imprints, Rhodes and Easton, under which he coauthored and published Publish to Win! and Inside the Bestsellers. It was while working with these imprints that the idea of expanding his company to embrace custom book publishing was born.
Today, Jenkins Group specializes in three areas: custom book publishing, finely tuned postpublication book marketing and distribution services, and a highly regarded book awards program that includes the Axiom Business Book Awards, the eLit Awards, the Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards, the Living Now Book Awards, the Illumination Book Awards and the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards.
As CEO, Jerrold’s role today is twofold: he consistently creates new products and services to best serve the ever-evolving publishing industry and he continues to work with corporate and entrepreneurial clients and as a consultant to publishers, speaking throughout the country on the benefits of custom book publishing and the marketing opportunities that abound.
