Our Story
Greetings!
After much thought and discussion between my wife and I, we’ve decided to launch a publishing imprint that will encompass original publishing projects, exclusive merchandise, and some reissues of my own books that are hard to find in affordable trade editions.
For the most part (as of now) the AP brand will encompass the following:
Print On Demand Books and eBooks of my own titles that have been printed elsewhere as limited editions.
Merchandise with the name & logo that will include t-shirts, stickers, coffee mugs, and signed bookplates.
Original, limited publications such as chapbooks (this could potentially expand down the line).
The imprint will not include my original trade titles (novels, collections, etc.). These will still be sold and distributed via other publishers, although I will be selling limited signed quantities through the AP site.
If you’d like to be updated when new books or products are made available, please join my author newsletter.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll check out our humble little store.
Stephanie and I would like to thank artist Francois Vaillancourt, who was incredibly generous in allowing us to repurpose his original design and concept of the sunken Ferris Wheel, which first appeared on the dust jacket of my story collection, Beneath a Pale Sky.
You can visit Fracassi’s website by clicking here.
Obviously, Altar Publishing was created in an effort to raise money for both my continued writing and the creation of future products and books, therefore any support is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so very much,
Philip and Stephanie
