Inspirebytes™ Omni Media (IOM) is a women-owned and operated boutique publishing company dedicated to producing books and other items that are inspirational, educational, and entertaining. Through our core principles of service, authenticity, integrity, and fun, we collaboratively develop and promote work that creates positive change.
IOM began as InspireBytes Press in 2015 with the publication of Martina Faulkner’s first book, What if..? Over the subsequent three years, the overall vision for the company expanded, resulting in a relaunch in 2019 as IOM. Our philosophy is based in the belief that there is a better way to bring good work to the world while properly supporting the talent behind it. Drawing from the best aspects of traditional-, hybrid-, and self-publishing models, IOM created a new way that is both collaborative and more equitable.
Whether it’s a book, a piece of art, a favorite mug, or anything in between, IOM has something to offer everyone.
Our Philosophy
At IOM, we wanted to do things differently, and that includes changing how books are published in order to be kinder to our planet. To that end, we have chosen to use the latest technology to publish all our books and to always offer an ebook version when possible.

Our Founder
As Founder and President, Martina Faulkner brings over 30 years of experience in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors to IOM. Her vision for something new sparked the creation of this game-changing company and continues to inform its development today.
“IOM is the place ‘Where Inspiration Meets Collaboration.’ My goal in starting the company was to produce really good work while simultaneously supporting the talent behind it.
To do this, we develop a variety of offerings that cover a wide range of genres and product categories, while also assisting our talent in honing their craft. For me, that’s the ultimate win-win: creating compelling work and helping others.”
