Meet Sandy Gould.

Q: What is your role at CHG?

A: I help authors and indy publishers. I’m an advisor, consultant and hand-holder. My goal is to make the process smooth and easy.

Q: What is your favorite part about working here?

A: I get a little jolt from seeing someone’s vision become a tangible reality in the form of a book

Q: If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time? 

A: Garden, cook, or play golf.

Q: They say everyone has a book in them. What would your book be about?

A: Probably a YA fantasy about people from the future communicating messages encrypted on printed sheets in the press room that only the clever kiddo main characters can decipher. Who wants to co-author with me??

Q: What are 3 interesting facts about you?

1. I have two grown children that I’m very proud of.

2. I have two parrots that keep me busy and entertained.

3. I interned as a juvenile court bailiff in college

Q: Who is your hero?

A: Anyone who advocates for those who don’t have a voice — especially children and animals

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A: A chemist, like my dad. He had a big influence on that until he saw my chemistry grades in high school.

Q: What was your first job?

A: We had a family business and I began my career by sweeping the factory floor at age 13. It was a small company started by my dad and I grew into various roles through college. I feel like it really shaped my work ethic.

Q: If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?

A: Probably the 50’s when life was simpler.
