West Wharf Books
I've come to realize that I have something to say, and that I can't always rely
on others to help me say it...nor do I always need to.
Publishing has changed significantly in the first decade of the century. The use
of print-on-demand has shifted from the wannabe to the worker, from the
dreamer to the doer, from the punter to the practitioner.
I have named my imprint West Wharf Books™ in honor of the West Wharf of
the Town of Madison, Connecticut. It was a place of magic and discovery. Its
rocks and tides changed little over time, but it was always new and wonderful.
Much like my blog, my press will serve as a creative outlet for my poetry,
essays, and serious academic work on music and the pipe organ. Watch here
for titles as they become available.
Thanks for your interest in my work.
I cannot receive manuscripts or proposals
at this time. Please do NOT submit
manuscripts, proposals, or anything else
whatsoever. I will not read, acknowledge,
or return any submissions. Thank you!
