THE WATERCRESS PRESS
Geron & Associates

Need a subsidy publisher of custom-designed first-quality books? Or a diaskeuast, a lucubrator, or a redactor?*

We have a 30-year track record publishing family histories, company histories, other non-fiction, and fiction. We have developed a network of printers, binders, designers, artists, and computer typesetters to provide complete services from manuscript to published book.

Writing the book is the hardest part, but trying to self-publish without professional assistance can bring one to a morass of confusion and financial waste. Even the available manuals describing the process cannot take the place of an experienced publisher.

We established our editorial service in 1978 and have edited the books of Watercress Press and Corona Publishing Company, as well as countless manuscripts of authors who wanted help in perfecting their work for submission to agents and tradebook publishers. These have included self-help, genealogy, history, Texana, cookbooks, archaeology, fiction, company histories, memoirs – you name it, we've probably blue-penciled it.

Owner has an M.A. in English, with 5 years' experience at The University of Texas Press and 20 years as an industrial editor before founding Watercress Press. We offer no order fulfillment services but give assistance and advice in promotional efforts.

* All terms for "editor," lucubrator being one who works at night, which is particularly applicable to this company run by a night owl.
