Publishing Reimagined
COMING SOON . . .
Books 2026-2027
. . . a brightly imaginative novel grounded in pop culture, laced with dark humor, and propelled by musical prose. Aron Beale is the unacknowledged son of Elvis Presley, and his plans to publish a revealing memoir bring out lawyers, religious fanatics, and death threats to silence him. But a serendipitous love affair, sparked by his own, decades old chart-topping song, gives Aron the resolve to confront his past and the surreal predicament of an absent father who is endlessly present.
. . . a coming-of-age novel set at Yale exploring the challenges faced by a Black student from a working-class Chicago background as he strives to find his identity and place within a world of elite institutions and complex opportunity.
. . . a deeply moving, vibrantly rendered memoir in which the author—who raises herself while her charismatic me-generation parents “find themselves”—bravely wrestles with a past haunted by secrets, looks for love in all the wrong places, and finally comes full circle to find home.
. . . a collection of micro-stories and poetry that explores the North: Canada, Poland, and the shadow country in between, where memory, myth, and imagination meet.
Books 2027-2028
. . . takes readers on a multi-layered journey as the author evolves from full-time parent to fledgling professional, with more than a little help from family, friends, and the village she builds along the way. Edible candles turn out to be (surprise!) no piece of cake, but the journey culminates in real (and reality television) success.
. . . a collection of poems that transport and transform. Life may be linear, but memory moves us through time and space, with its own rhythm and felt sense of place.
. . . an edgy romantic comedy that follows three interweaving lives: an ADHD twenty-something MAN crushing on a forty-something WOMAN who just dropped a hundred pounds and is gingerly feeling her way around being “hot” for the first time in her life, and a gay MODEL-TURNED-ACTOR (the MAN’s landlord) who is both terrified of turning sixty and guilt-ridden that he didn’t die from AIDS like most of his friends.
. . . a late-life collection of poems, this newest assemblage grapples with aging, dying, parenting, loving, poor health, and the heart's resiliency. There’s a lot of looking back. There’s an equal amount of looking at what is in front of the author.
dreamfield discoveries
DREAMFIELD DISCOVERIES reissues undiscovered books that we believe deserve a new day in the sun.
. . . a hilarious ascent into the deluded imagination of a middle-aged man who believes it is never too late to start over. For the past ten years, Malcolm Poe has dreamt of escape. His plan is simple: The day his youngest child starts college, Malcolm will leave his devoted wife to resume the creative life he abandoned for marriage. As the hour of his departure nears, Malcolm buys a blank notebook to chronicle the riot of his memories, passions, regrets, and aspirations.
With a new foreword by Michael Lipson.
