Quasar Publishing's Goals
Quasar Publishing engages in four platforms.
​
Children's books, The Zoo Adventure Series, are beginner and intermediate reader books that delight and entertain children of all ages.

Fantasy genre, the Dragonfly Sorcery Series, is a fresh new approach to fantasy. We challenge the typical fantasy norms and introduce new races of adversaries to frighten and exhilarate our audiences.

Our education focused product, Exceed State Standards, helps teachers guide students through our 24 step essay writing program. The program catapulted our test market students AYP, Average Yearly Progress, 35% in state writing assessments over a ten year test period. The gains were consistently six times higher than the state's expectation for student writing improvement.
​
Our career focused product, Help Fix My Career, is a researched and proven career advancement system that guides our clients to maximize potential utilizing the skills and talents they already possess.
