Rebirth Publishing was formed in November 2009 by Jessie Mae Hodsdon. It released Issym, the first book in The Xsardis Chronicles by Hodsdon that Thanksgiving. A year later its sequel Asandra appeared in stores. Rebirth’s goal is to provide adventure with a purpose and a thing it calls ‘depravity free reading’. Depravity free reading is more than no swear words or junky scenes. You can expect when you pick up anything from Rebirth Publishing that the content is appropriate for people of all ages. No bad jokes. No inappropriate connotations.
Because Rebirth Publishing was founded by a young person, it believes in young people. It longs to inspire children (and adults too!) not to wait until they are ’grown up’ to do big things. God has plans for people, right NOW! Rebirth Publishing’s author is available to speak about this at youth groups, churches and schools and holds creative writings workshops. Rebirth Publishing does not look at age when it looks at manuscripts, so go to www.issym.com and find out how to get your book reviewed!

Hi! My name is Lisa Updike. I live in the Harrisonburg, VA area and I got a call from someone at Rebirth Publishing about an author doing a tour and looking for speaking engagements. Sadly, in my busy household, the message was accidentally erased before I had an opportunity to respond. I did not want to be unkind in not responding, so I have sought you out on the internet. Maybe a good way to say it is, “Tag! You’re it!” If you all need to contact me again, my phone number is (540) 879-3361. Most likely you will need to leave a message, but hopefully this time it will not be erased!
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Lisa Updike
