Leanne Janzen
Starting her journey in the publishing world, Leanne began working as a Publishing Specialist – guiding authors through the self publishing process with care and attention. Her ability to form relationships and desire to continually improve and learn led her to the University of Winnipeg. There, Leanne completed Leadership training shortly before transitioning to her new role with FriesenPress and now leads the sales team. Her passion for educating others on the current publishing landscape and the benefits of self publishing led her to launching a successful speaking program at FriesenPress, where she and her team present to organizations and groups around North America. When she is not keeping busy with her children and dogs (there are three of both!), you can find her on the beach with a good book and a glass of wine in hand.
