Collette Portis & Co. Publishing was established in April 2015. Driven by Dr. Collette Portis's firsthand observations of entrepreneurial triumphs and setbacks within her family, coupled with her extensive corporate experience fostering growth across various sectors including small businesses and non-profits, she recognized the imperative of sharing her family's narrative and her own professional journey. Thus, she embarked on a writing endeavor.

​

Upon completing her initial manuscript, Dr. Collette encountered hurdles in traditional publishing—challenges of profit sharing, expensive editorial services, and limited author support beyond writing and waiting for sales. Determined to navigate these obstacles, Portis researched extensively and eventually opted for self-publishing.

​

During this process, she identified unmet needs in the market, particularly the lack of resources tailored for independent authors seeking to not only publish but also build a sustainable business and brand around their literary works. Drawing upon her expertise as an Entrepreneur & Strategist, Dr. Collette founded Collette Portis & Co. Publishing, offering comprehensive support to independent authors in manuscript completion, publishing, and branding endeavors.

​

Today, the Collette Portis & Co. team is dedicated to empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their stories and expertise with the world, leaving a legacy that transcends their lifetime.

​

Dr. Collette Portis boasts a rich educational background, including a Bachelor's in Business Management, a Master's in Adult Education, and a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership &  Humanities. She is the author of impactful tools such as "G.O.A.L.I.E.: Grafting Objectives Around Longevity in Entrepreneurship," the "G.O.A.L.I.E. Tactical Planner," "CEOs Finish Strong," and the newly published "JUST Strategy" all of which she utilizes to guide authors toward expanding and achieving their set goals.
