A Lucky and Successful Launch for ELEPHANT SPEAK

This project has taught me what the greatest powers of small presses are: focused attention on a few projects (instead of hundreds each year), strong author relationships, and intimate knowledge of a book’s story and content.

Hit the Trail: 50 Hikes Is Now Available!

This book is special to us because it’s more than just another book. It introduces Northwesterners to beautiful yet relatively unexplored areas in our backyard. It’s about showing people that these forests, which have been famously devastated by fire and logging, are now viable playgrounds for horseback riders, cyclists, hikers, and campers.

Sleeping in My Jeans Changes Hands

Spring term is the time for new managers, and what’s interesting is that each new project manager will be taking on a project in a different stage from all of the other book projects. On the Sleeping in My Jeans team, new project manager Monique Vieu will be taking the helm just as our marketing strategy really kicks in.
