About Us
Green Dragon Book Publishing
Welcome to Green Dragon Books, a perceptual publishing company that empowers readers worldwide to reach their full potential. Founded by Gary B. Wilson in 1969 in Atlanta, Georgia, the company initially was called Humanics Publishing, making it one of the oldest publishing houses in the Southeastern United States. The reach of the trade and mass-market paperbacks, hardcovers, eBooks, and audiobooks in multiple languages is truly worldwide.
History
Wilson’s background in child development and community organization inspired the initial focus on parent and societal involvement in early childhood education across the country. The first titles published were early childhood classroom guides and other tools for teachers and educational program administrators. The materials were developed to improve achievement amongst preschool children, identify potential deficiencies and prepare them for future educational opportunities. Today’s Humanics Psychological Test Corp, a division of Green Dragon Books, produces instruments to assess children’s school readiness and other important early developmental milestones.
In the mid-1980s, the company expanded its genres to include titles specializing in personal development, leadership, and new age spirituality. Green Dragon published the best-selling book, The Tao of Leadership, by John Heider. This pivotal work continues to influence global leadership processes into the 21st century. Green Dragon Books now publishes an even broader range of topics, including relationships, psychology, fiction, legacies, children’s picture books, creativity, self-help, health, and wellness. Imprints include SleuthHound Books, which features thrillers and mystery novels, and Legacies Books, which presents notable memoirs.
