Myrna James
"Myrna has owned Blueline Publishing LLC and Apogeo Spatial magazine for 20 years. As publisher of a magazine about applications of remotely sensed Earth data, she has a broad understanding of both data and of the space industry. She has served on the organizing committees for conferences including Where 2.0 and The International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE5). She also handled press for Amnesty International when they launched their new “live” website to track human rights abuses in Sudan, “Eyes on Darfur.” It was the first website utilizing satellite imagery in near-real-time.
In 2017, she founded a marketing and communications firm that re-branded a new company doing quantum communications in space, with the first commercial quantum satellite on orbit from any country outside of China.
In 2009, she co-founded LBx Journal, about “location in the language of business.”
Blueline Publishing has published nine books, including two nonfiction books about Operation Babylift, which saved thousands of children at the end of the Vietnam War in June 1975.
Among Myrna’s defining experiences is traveling the world solo for 18 months, when she lived in treehouses in Turkey, trekked in the monsoon with leeches in Nepal, cooked on a cattle station in outback Australia, debated politics with a Frenchman of her father’s generation, and was in Paris when France won the World Cup in 1998 and celebrated along the Champs-Élysées with dear friends. She had one of the first “live” travel websites and was blogging before blogging was a word. Her trip broadened her worldview, and she sees that all of humanity has more in common than not.
Previously, she sold national advertising for publishers Time Warner (Parenting) and Gannett (USA Weekend), and was an Admissions Representative for Kansas State University, where she graduated from the Arts & Sciences Honors Program with a BA in English and minors in Sociology and Women’s Studies. Myrna lives in Denver with her awesome adopted autistic son. "
