Spotlight Series: Spotlight On : Graywolf Press

Spotlight On : Graywolf Press

>> Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Graywolf Press was founded by Scott Walker in 1974. It took six months to print the first book from Graywolf Press, a book of poetry. Since then they've gone on to publish memoirs, short stories and novels. 36 years as a small publisher is an impressive accomplishment.

A small sampling of the authors they work with are Tess Gallagher, William Kittredge, and Jane Kenyon.

With a broad range of genres and an impressive catalogue, Graywolf Press on the Spotlight Series is sure to be a lot of fun!

Buried In Print, June 23, 2010 at 7:38 AM: This is one of my favourite indie presses: I'm looking forward to dabbling in their catalogue.
Amy, July 6, 2010 at 11:55 PM: I have several of their titles and I'm never disappointed. Even though the subjects are frequently different, it seems like they all share a love of place and time...it's like you can "feel" the stories as well as read them.

Not a paid spokesperson either! LOL
