Giving Voice to America's Heartland
From Wall Street to Main Street, from politicians to country stars—we help leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes share their stories with the world through professional publishing.
The Voice of the Heartland
Steve was born and raised in the great wine country of Napa, California, and is a graduate of the University of Southern California. As CEO and Editor of HeartlandJournal.com, Steve brings a unique perspective to American media.
In 2022, Steve took over the Heartland Journal (formerly Mill Creek View) after founder Fred Fillbrook passed away. Since then, he has grown the platform into one of the most trusted voices for everyday Americans who feel unheard by mainstream media.
Through the Heartland Journal podcast and his bestselling book "Songs About the Heartland: A Journey from Wall Street to Main Street," Steve shares the stories of faith, family, and community that make America great.

[email protected]From Single Mom to Publishing Powerhouse
Nicole Elizabeth Orozco doesn't follow a straight path—she follows breadcrumbs. "When doors open, you walk through them," she says. "When doors close, you know it's not for you."
That philosophy has carried her from working at seven years old in her uncle's Southern California catering empire to becoming a national newspaper distributor, keynote speaker, and now a publishing entrepreneur helping others find their authentic voice.
Nicole co-founded The Flame newspaper, which reached over 1.5 million copies distributed nationwide. She now serves as co-publisher of Mill Creek View and operates three publishing imprints: Legacy Tree Project, Archipelago Publishing, and Heartland Publishing.
Her Expert to Authority system is unlike anything in the publishing industry—helping authors get their authentic voice into print with global distribution, while maintaining complete ownership of their work.

Whether you're a podcast guest, industry expert, public figure, or thought leader—you have stories and insights the world needs to hear. We specialize in working with accomplished individuals who are ready to cement their message in print through professional ghostwriting and interview-based book creation.
