Our Team

Founder & CEo, Marcus Siwemuke

Marcus is the Founder and CEO of Three to Five Publishing, LLC.

He has 10 years of business development and strategy experience. He holds an MBA from Emory University and has spent the majority of his professional life as a consultant both within and outside of Fortune 500 companies.

Prior to that, Marcus was in the Peace Corps, where he realized a passion for empowering and strengthening communities through entrepreneurship. He saw first-hand the pride that comes from owning your own business and having financial independence.

Many years later, Marcus and his wife, Julie, were expectant parents. Both avid readers themselves, they wanted books to be a big part of their child’s life as well. They each wanted to support women and minority authors who were featuring strong, positive, diverse characters in their stories. This was more difficult to find than they anticipated. An idea took shape in Marcus’s mind, and Three to Five Publishing was born.
