Azarel

Tressa “Azarel” Smallwood, CEO of Life Changing Books and co-founder of The Best Sellers Project is a former teacher who received her BS degree from University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching degree from Bowie State University.

Azarel is also the publisher of New York Times bestseller, Game Over by Winter Ramos.

Not only a publisher, Azarel is co-owner of The Best Seller’s Project, an international online Publishing BootCamp which teaches aspiring authors how to self-publish their books for PROFIT. She also spends time encouraging and training women to become entrepreneurs. As a wife, and mother of two Tressa “Azarel” Smallwood enjoys spending time with family and friends and lending support to those in need.  Azarel’s greatest wish is for every able body to reach out to help someone in need.
