I had a vision but not a marketing plan or even how to pay for it. I just knew that our region, like many others did not have the visuals or real time mini bios to inspire young people to choose the trades, or more specifically the marine trades as a career option.

If there is interest in your community, please let me know. Maritime Trades; Snapshots of real people in their workplaces is published by the Ingram Spark catalog and they have a tiered pricing for retailers with accounts. It is available online around the world and also directly from PT Watercraft for the US. https://Direct Purchase linkMT-Snapshots-cover

If you are a non-profit, a school, youth center, library, employment agency or retailer without access to the IS catalog, reach out to me at Port Townsend Watercraft.

The price point for bulk orders is very reasonable for an 82 page, full color book.

I currently have stock available and hope to use the proceeds from sales and financial sponsors to gift books to groups and individuals short on funding but in need of inspiration. Thank you, Ashlyn Brown
