About Trula & MSPmedia

365 Day 10: Rested June 3rd 2008

I started my biz in August of 2000 under the name Mama Specific Productions. I sold various zines about different aspects of my mothering experience for some years, then branched into publishing books. Several years ago I decided to branch into producing other types of work including video and music, as well as publish more books about topics other than motherhood. I kept the MSP from Mama Specific Productions for nostalgia, and MSPmedia was born.
