Martina Publishing, Inc. was established in 2007 by Shiela Martina Keaise to share her personal thoughts and experiences that she wanted to publish in book format. This company also serves as an outlet for Ms. Literacy to serve as a publishing consultant, singing storyteller, workshop presenter/Trainer, Motivational Speaker, and publisher. Martina Publishing, Inc. is designed to share books from the heart of its author as Ms. Literacy has done through her books.
Thank you for choosing Martina Publishing to help you publish your first children's book. We look forward to working with you in future endeavors.
Shiela Martina Keaise was born and raised in Walterboro, South Carolina. She is the product of South Carolina Universities, receiving a Bachelor of Science from Claflin University, a Masters of Science from South Carolina State University, and a Master of Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina-Columbia. Ms. Shiela has worked as Children’s Librarian, where she enjoyed singing, acting, and writing, which she incorporates regularly.
From 2018 - 2020, Ms. Shiela was asked to host her own TV Show on Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative's (PRTC) local Channel 57 called Miss Shiela's World of Reading! Since then, over 50 children have participated in this daily children's program that airs three times daily (7:30 am, 9:30 am, and 3:30 pm). On each episode, Miss Shiela shares storytime, songs, and a game with local children's guests based on a theme or topic. Most of the songs on Miss Shiela's World of Reading were written by Miss Shiela, which includes the TV Show's theme song--Reading Makes the World Go Round. The latter is based on Greg and Steve's song Music Makes the World Go Round.
Ms. Literacy is a YouTuber excited about her new skills as a video editor,
graphic designer, and YouTuber. After 28 years, she retired as Children's Librarian at the Colleton County Memorial Library in Walterboro, SC. Ms. Literacy is known around the state as the Singing Storyteller.
Shiela Martina is the pen name (and preferred name) for the Hannah and Dexter series. However, she has written over 26 books (children’s books and adult).
Ms. Shiela’s thought-provoking children’s book shows the effects of working together, promoting literacy, encouraging respect for individual differences, and accepting one another’s opinions.
Ms. Literacy is an Author, Youtuber, Storyteller, SC Trainer, and is now the President of Martina Publishing, Inc. and Executive Director for Community Innovations, a nonprofit organization that focuses on building children, parents, families, and communities.
