MARCH 12, 2023

After much thought and discussion between my wife and I, we’ve decided to launch a publishing / brand imprint that will encompass small publishing projects, some limited merchandise, and some reissues of my own books.

The imprint is called ALTAR PUBLISHING.

For the most part (as of now, anyway) the AP brand will encompass the following:

Print On Demand Books and eBooks of my own titles that have been printed elsewhere as limited editions.
Merchandise with the name & logo that will include t-shirts, stickers, coffee mugs, and signed bookplates.
Original, limited publications such as chapbooks (this could potentially expand into other originals at some point down the line).
The imprint will NOT include my original trade titles (novels, collections, etc.). These will still be sold and distributed via other publishers.

Book projects that are currently in the works include:

A limited chapbook called I THINK MY TREEHOUSE IS HAUNTED, with illustrations by artist Dave Dick (you can visit Dave’s website here).
A Print On Demand paperback and eBook of my Zagava novel, DON’T LET THEM GET YOU DOWN.
A limited book featuring my original screenplays that I adapted for BOYS IN THE VALLEY and GOTHIC.

All of these projects will launch in 2023. If you’d like to be updated when the books release, or any of my books are made available, please join my NEWSLETTER.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out our humble little STORE.

Stephanie and I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to the amazing artist, Francois Vaillancourt, who was incredibly generous in allowing us to repurpose his original design and concept of the sunken Ferris Wheel, which first appeared on the dustjacket of my story collection, BENEATH A PALE SKY. You can visit Francois’s website by clicking here. You can see the original dustjacket at the PALE SKY book page.

Obviously, this is primarily an effort to raise money for both my continued writing and the creation of future products and books, therefore any support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so very much,

Philip and Stephanie
