WILMINGTON, Del. - DelTimes -- WILMINGTON, Del. -- Author, speaker, and corporate trainer LaSean Rinique Shelton has grown her independent publishing company Thryvve Press into a 22-book catalog spanning parenting, business and entrepreneurship, personal growth, and workforce training.  The collection is organized around real problems. The Practical Parent Library offers straight-talking guides for everyday family challenges, including picky eaters and bedtime battles. The Business and Entrepreneurship shelf covers self-publishing, workplace worth, and starting over after a job loss. The Personal Growth and Relationships titles take on grief, boundaries, self-sabotage, and rebuilding, led by her book Before You Become HER and its companion workbook.  Shelton's flagship publishing program, The .49 Author System, teaches aspiring authors the full path from concept to creation and dreams to distribution across three guides: Publish It Yourself, The Self-Publishing Bestie, and 25 Book Topics and Genres Readers Are Buying. The program's premise is blunt. Writers do not need thousands of dollars to publish. They need the right steps in the right order.  Newer titles include Rebuilding Tulsa, which draws on the history of the Greenwood District and Black Wall Street to teach community economics, financial literacy, ownership, and generational planning, and The Pocket CEO, a guide to jobs and investments everyday people can start without breaking the bank. Her forthcoming book, Shrink No More, is currently in production.  "You have to be strong to lose everything, but find everything through words," said Shelton.  Shelton is a former educator and corporate trainer whose work addresses mindset, communication, leadership, accountability, and change. Her earlier broadcasting work, as host of the Mz. OptimiZm podcast, grew from a single listener to more than 1.5 million listeners, downloads, and shares. She will headline the SIS! I AM YOU Part 2 women's empowerment event in Wilmington, Delaware, on November 28, 2026.  The full catalog is available at www.thryvvepress.com. Training and workforce programs are offered through Thryvve Academy at www.thryvveacademy.com and www.thryvveacademy.org. The Thryvve vendor marketplace is at www.thryvvemarket.com.  About Thryvve Press: Thryvve Press is an independent publishing company founded by LaSean Rinique Shelton.
