Gypsy Shadow Publishing
is an electronic publishing company that came into being
September 1, 2009. Its founders, Denise Bartlett and Charlotte
Holley, are veteran authors themselves and have worked in
various aspects of the print world for decades. With experience
ranging from writing short stories and poetry to full length
novels, newspaper columns and reviews to news and investigative
articles, Bartlett and Holley are not strangers to the written
word.
Gypsy Shadow Publishing began its journey by following the
trend toward eBook publications and other innovative publishing
concepts. Each of the principals has a love of and commitment to
providing quality, professional, exciting works to the public.
Gypsy Shadow came into being as an Indie publishing company for
the purpose of giving new and seasoned authors alike a chance to
shine in the world of the written word, without some of the hype
and pressure of more conventional established companies.
We pledge our utmost dedication
to you in publishing manuscripts that are both professionally
edited and formatted as well as new and creative. We feel the
publishing community affords room for new ideas, such as
experimental and multi-genre stories and novels, and we
encourage authors to explore their imaginations to produce
concepts that have not received the acclaim they deserve.
