NEW YORK, NY, August 21, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sarah Erin Goldberg has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Goldberg serves as the Chief Executive Officer of 21 Chieftains Press, a role she has held since 2023. In this capacity, she has demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision in the publishing industry, specializing in poetry and fiction books. Overall, she is most proud of founding her own company, a milestone that required perseverance and self-assurance. She also values her early efforts to share her writing with other companies, recognizing these experiences as foundational steps toward establishing her business.

Her professional journey reflects a steady progression through roles that expanded her expertise and versatility. She began as an editor for Coastlines Literary Magazine at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida, contributing to the curation and publication of creative works. She then joined Barnes & Noble Inc. as both a bookseller and senior barista, gaining first-hand insight into the retail side of the literary world. In 2024, she advanced to a staff writer position with Study Breaks, refining her skills in content creation and editorial work.

Ms. Goldberg's academic journey reflects a dedication to the humanities paired with a commitment to professional leadership. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Brooklyn College in 2024, where she majored in Creative Writing and English with a concentration in Literature and History, specializing in Holocaust Literature. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Business Administration at Purdue University Global in 2025. Today, she is advancing her expertise through graduate studies that bring these disciplines together, pursuing a Master of Science in Publishing at New York University, an MBA at Purdue University Global, and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Butler University. This combination of literary scholarship and professional training has also shaped her writing, contributing to her recognition in the contemporary literary sphere.

Her first poetry collection, Behind the City Eyes, was named an International Book Award finalist in 2023, while her second, Secrets Make You Sick, earned an Honorable Mention from the BookFest Awards the same year. Her forthcoming debut novel, Beyond the Table, has since attracted wide attention, with early draft chapters going viral on social media and reaching more than 68,000 readers.

Amongst her professional duties at 21 Chieftans Press, Ms. Goldberg is responsible for overseeing the entire publishing process, from manuscript acquisition and editorial development to design, production, and distribution. In her role, she collaborates closely with authors to refine their work, guides them through marketing and publicity efforts, and ensures that each title meets both artistic and professional standards. She is especially dedicated to mentoring emerging authors, providing them with the tools, resources, and confidence needed to grow their voices and careers in the competitive literary landscape. Beyond book production, she manages contracts, finances, and long-term business strategy, balancing the creative and operational sides of independent publishing. She also fosters community involvement through events such as the New York City Poetry Festival, encouraging greater participation among writers.

In addition to her leadership in publishing, Ms. Goldberg is the founder and lead doula of Crescent Birth & Beyond, established in 2024. Her path toward maternal and infant care began earlier, when she served as a teaching assistant at Congregation B'nai Israel of Boca Raton, working with children from birth to age two and developing a foundation in early childhood support. Drawing on that experience, she now provides families with compassionate guidance during childbirth and the postpartum period. She holds certification as a full-spectrum doula through Birth Advocacy Doula Trainings, along with adult and pediatric first aid/CPR/AED certification from the American Heart Association. She is also advancing her qualifications by training as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Looking ahead, Ms. Goldberg remains committed to expanding the impact of 21 Chieftains Press by supporting more authors through enhanced marketing strategies and broader outreach efforts. She also continues to develop her work in maternal and mental health support, demonstrating the same dedication and leadership that define her publishing career. She credits her success to grit and determination, qualities that have enabled her to thrive across multiple disciplines and achieve meaningful milestones throughout her career.
