Marie Brown has devoted her entire professional life to education and educational publishing. Six years of teaching at the elementary level early in her career led to Marie’s keen interest in the prospect of writing educational materials for children. Her first position in the industry was as Director of Instructional Programming at a new educational development company, Multimedia Education, Inc. By working with the heads of major educational publishers to develop products that would ultimately affect the education of millions of students, Marie began what has become her lifelong commitment to educational publishing.

In 1983, Marie founded Brown Publishing Network in Wellesley, Massachusetts. As project assignments increased in volume and scope, Brown grew rapidly—and it continues to grow. Energized by the challenges of leading a business in this dynamic field, Marie never forgets the importance of the mission she has established for her company—to help create instructional materials that will best educate students.
