A new chapter for Bacon Press Books - from Handyman to Editorial Director, please meet Seth Rosenberg
My career path has taken me through various roles, from artist to private chef and handyman to several other interesting jobs. Each position had its own challenges and rewards, but none have felt as right as my latest role: Editorial Director at Bacon Press Books.
I’ve been involved behind the scenes at Bacon Press Books for some time. I chose to assume this role officially because of my love of books. There is something deeply gratifying about assisting artists in bringing their visions to life and then seeing those visions in the hands of readers.
The publishing world today is dynamic and exciting. While major players dominate the field, smaller presses have significant opportunities to make an impact. Smaller presses, like Bacon Press Books, have a unique advantage. We can deliver professional, high-quality books in a more affordable and accessible manner. Our mission is to democratize literature, one beautifully crafted book at a time.
As Editorial Director, I aim to cultivate a creative environment where writers feel supported, and their stories can thrive. I'll work closely with authors, helping them shape their narratives and refine their manuscripts until they shine. There is a particular joy in that collaborative process, in witnessing a rough draft transform into a finished work of art.
There is an enduring quality to books that resonates deeply with me. In an age where digital content can be fleeting, the permanence of a physical book is profoundly comforting. Books have the power to transcend time, to be discovered and rediscovered by future generations. They hold stories and knowledge that can inspire, educate, and entertain long after their initial publication. At Bacon Press Books, we are not just creating products; we are crafting lasting legacies.
So, here’s to a new chapter—both literally and figuratively. I am thrilled to embrace this role at Bacon Press Books and eagerly anticipate what we can accomplish together. To all the writers and readers out there, let’s make some magic happen. Cheers!
