The authors of Black Douglas Press
Individual voices.
A shared publishing home.
Behind every book is a writer
with something to say.
Black Douglas Press brings an author-focused philosophy to publishing: respect for the name on the cover, the voice on the page, and the person behind the work.
Meet the writers
The voices behind our books.
Black Douglas Press begins with author and founder Russell L. Irby. As the press grows, each writer’s work and creative identity will remain at the center of the publishing relationship.
The relationship we are building
Your name.
Your voice.
Your work.
We believe professional publishing support should help a writer’s work reach its readers while respecting the author’s ownership and creative authority.
A shared publishing home does not require a shared voice. Our approach makes room for individual stories, ideas, and choices—and for the identity each author brings to the page.
Our Publishing ApproachA voice that stays yours.
Observations and revision suggestions are recommendations, not requirements. The author decides which suggestions serve the work.
A name that matters.
The author’s name and creative identity remain central to how we present the writer and the book.
Ownership at the center.
Respect for authors’ rights is the starting point. Professional support should help authors make informed choices about their own work.
