Welcome to Stony Meadow Publishing
Stan Swanson formed Stony Meadow Publishing in 2005.
Having had no success with the traditional publishing route, (you know, sending out dozens of manuscripts to publishers and editors), he
realized that the only way to get published was to launch his own publishing
company. After nearly a year of research, he published his first book in 2006.
The world of print-on-demand publishing has made
it possible for the "guy" (or girl) next door to finally write and publish the
great American novel or that "how-to" book on building bird houses. If you
would like more information on having your book published, send us an e-mail at
StonyMeadowBooks@aol.com.
