Positively Publishing Kids is headed by Dawn McLaughlin, a local entrepreneur in the Hudson County Area of New Jersey. She is an ambitious woman looking to use her talents in writing to create a business especially focused on the future of our society… children. Through the power of writing she intends to educate the younger generations of our society about Diversity.
