Tatia Gordon-Troy

Tatia L. Gordon-Troy uses the hashtag, #behindthebook, because she has been the brains behind hundreds of books written by attorneys during her 30-year career as an editor, writer, and publisher. As the former head of publishing for the American Immigration Lawyers Association where she was responsible for a $4 million annual budget, Tatia was instrumental in transforming many attorneys into successful authors and thought leaders. For the past six years, she has continued to work with attorneys and other professionals to independently publish their work and leverage their expertise to better market themselves and their practices while attracting high-end clientele. She also works closely with small associations to strategically approach ways to build non-dues revenue using content and teaching how to repurpose, reuse, and recycle content to increase member outreach.

Because traditional publishing is restrictive and slow-moving, Tatia was drawn to the flexibility and excitement surrounding the world of independent publishing, which has given her the opportunity to learn, experiment, and lend her publishing expertise to a number of independent publishing clients to ensure the quality and professional presentation of their work.

Tatia is a creative yet analytical thinker, able to use both sides of her brain to accomplish her clients’ goals. She’s been known to breathe new life into stagnant and faltering publications, to create new ones with new perspectives. She refers to herself as a grinder because, “I roll up my sleeves and get sh*t done.” Tatia is skilled at seeing a need, a niche, or an opportunity for enhancement or creation of a new product or service to support audiences and drive new revenue sources.

After becoming a victim of downsizing at the age of 49, Tatia was determined to not stay a victim for long. Unfortunately, Tatia’s mother was suffering from dementia and in need of her attention as well. Her decision to start a business rather than jump back into the rat race stemmed from necessity and a desire to be her own boss. She brokered an outsourcing deal with her then-former employer and the rest is history. For three years, her family never knew she had been separated from her job—that’s how determined Tatia was to make her business work and to keep the bills paid.  

Tatia is an accomplished writer with a background in TV and print journalism. She’s ghostwritten for attorneys, a congressman, and several association presidents. She is quite proud of some of her most recent writing projects, which were sample research papers she wrote during the pandemic to help college students improve their writing skills.

Tatia is a Maryland attorney, an experienced and prolific writer, and an award-winning editor who is passionate about good writing and making people sound better than they ever thought they could. What author wouldn’t want that? She is the CEO of her own publishing consultancy and author services company, Ramses House Publishing LLC, visit www.publishingforlawyers.com. Follow her on LinkedIn, Twitter @tatia_troy, and search Clubhouse @behind the book. She also can be reached at tatiatroy@ramseshp.com.
