Publishing

After over a decade of publishing The Talking Stick, The Jackpine Writers' Bloc branched out and started publishing individual authors. In 2007 we published Broken Hart by Jerry Mevissen and in 2009 we published Fall Pictures on an Abandoned Road by Richard Fenton Sedarstrom. Both books were edited by Sharon Harris and Tarah L. Wolff designed the interior and the covers. And both books were published through Morris Publishing out of Nebraska.

We offer the entire editorial, design and publishing package. If you're interested in finding out more and having a look at our contract please use the contact form.

Editing

The Jackpine Writers' Bloc offers line editing on poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. Sharon Harris has had nearly a decade of editing experience on the Talking Stick books. If you need one more person to take a look at your book before you submit it for publication, we are affordable and quick.

Layout and Design

Layout and design are a very important step to producing a beautiful book. Tarah L. Wolff has designed eight published books for the Jackpine Writers' Bloc over the past years and has designed hundreds of web sites, brochures, logos, covers and business cards.

If you are self publishing your book and are having trouble designing the interior, The Jackpine Writers' Bloc has th experience to help.

Critique

The writers who will see your work include (but are not limited to): Jerry Mevissen (author), Scott Stewart (author, ghost writer and teacher), Sharon Harris (author, editor) and Tarah L. Wolff (author, editor). Cost depends on size of work, please contact us for a quote.
