Featured Author: Judy Ringer
Judy Ringer is the author of Turn Enemies Into Allies: The Art of Peace in the Workplace—a systematic guide to help managers resolve conflict between clashing employees, and Unlikely Teachers: Finding the Hidden Gifts in Daily Conflict—a book of stories and practices on turning life’s challenges into life teachers.
Tell me about your latest book and what inspired you to write it?
Turn Enemies Into Allies: The Art of Peace in the Workplace was inspired by a series of five blog posts I wrote five years prior to the book being published. The posts offered tips and skills for managing conflict between co-workers, and is the primary content of Turn Enemies Into Allies.
I was inspired by the idea that the work I do with individuals and groups in conflict could (and should) be part of the manager’s skillset.
I’m an Aikido instructor, black belt, and founder of Portsmouth Aikido, in Portsmouth, NH. What differentiates the book is my application of Aikido principles to skills such as centering, curiosity, collaboration, and managing self in order to manage others. The illustrations by Adam Richardson also create a unique look.

Premier Publisher Portal Launch: An Attempt to Innovate the Traditional Publishing Industry
Writers’ Connection is happy to announce the launch of its Publisher Portal feature. The network of writers and authors that we have been quickly growing is now accessible by publishers, literary agents and publicists interested in publishing new books.
About Us
Writers’ Connection is a community of writers, authors, and publishing professionals created to connect existing, new and traditionally unpublished writers and authors with the guidance, support, education, and resources required to write, publish and distribute a book. Our goal is to grow in to the largest network of writers and authors with book ideas and books to publish.
Authors gain access to information on traditional and self-publishing options, and may be contacted by legitimate literary agents, publishers, and publicists seeking their specific work. Agents and publishers browse new, unpublished manuscript descriptions in targeted genres and directly contact the authors they are interested in publishing, providing detail specific submission guidelines for their organization. Select service providers advertise publishing-related services to writers and authors in need.
There are thousands of publishers in need of new stories every day. Unfortunately, there are also many clever publishing scams designed to profit at the expense of new authors unfamiliar with the business and process. Writers’ Connection was created to be a reliable resource and community for first time authors and seasoned pros embarking on a book publishing journey.
