Far Outside the Ordinary Brand
Far Outside the Ordinary is a brand created by Prissy Elrod. Prissy engaged
Leatherleaf Publishing to publish, market, and distribute all Far Outside the Ordinary products, including her best-selling memoir of the same title. Leatherleaf also promotes and licenses the Far Outside the Ordinary brand and works with manufacturers to use Prissy's brand and her success to sell more of their products. The brand continues to gain in popularity, as Prissy's
Far Outside the Ordinary memoir and branded products experience strong sales.
Prissy coined the term "Far Outside the Ordinary" and worked with the award-winning artist
Katie Campbell to develop the Far Outside the Ordinary image. The
Far Outside the Ordinary cover designed by Katie was recognized by the art community as being special, and consequentially, the brand became a major award winner. The cover of
Far Outside the Ordinary was submitted to the
2014 Print Regional Design Annual. The Regional Design Annual is America's preeminent design competition. The cover design was named in
Print magazine's
15 Award Winning Book & Book Cover Designs.

Leatherleaf Publishing is actively seeking products that will benefit from using the Far Outside the Ordinary brand and its existing customer traffic.
Prissy Elrod was born in Lake City, a charming little town nestled in northern Florida. She has a small studio in her home, dividing her time between painting and writing. The painting came first; her canvases are filled with paintings of children, landscapes, Florida, water, barns, and pets. Writing came a few years later. She awoke one morning with a yearning, a feeling surfaced from deep within. She had a story to tell. Her writing journey began that very day.
Prissy never thought of herself as a writer, most certainly never an author. Like many things in her life, writing evolved during the process of living. It would take four years before she finished her first book, having read and arduously studied more than forty-eight books on the craft of writing. She may never know where the urge to write came from, or really why. She is simply grateful it did.
Prissy Elrod loves to paint and has been doing so for the past fifteen years. What started as a hobby soon became her passion. As a result, a coloring book was created under her guidance and shines because of her artistic editorial care. Its theme is butterflies and caterpillars, and it is divided into four sections. Each section begins with a drawing and proverb that follows the theme of her book.
It is a perfect companion to her
Far Outside the Ordinary memoir. As you color these beautifully designed butterfly scenes, you're able to indulge your creative freedom and relax your overworked mind. The book is designed to allow you to choose your favorite colorful marker, gel, pencil, or pen. The heavy stock page is easily removed and fits into a standard 8" x 10" frame. The book contains 48 black-and-white drawings that you can color to create your own art.
Prissy Elrod's speaking career started shortly after her book
Far Outside the Ordinary was released. As the story found within her book spread, readers requested she attend and speak at book clubs and other events in the Southeast. She accepted these invitations and spoke to her audiences about navigating loss and finding a new forward. Since then, larger organizations have reached out to her and engaged her to share her story with their organizations.
She has spoken to SunTrust Bank and Merrill Lynch client-development attendees and many other large organizations. She tailors her presentation to benefit the uniqueness of each audience. Prissy is a storyteller, and her takeaway message is made relevant to the needs of each person who attends one of her events.
Her down-to-earth style and humor make her a "Far Outside the Ordinary" speaker, as these
testimonials reveal.
