Portland State University's Center for Excellence in Writing has launched both a graduate degree program in book publishing and Ooligan Press, a general publishing and teaching imprint. The new publishing imprint and graduate degree program will be directed by Dennis Stovall, former publisher of Blue Heron Publishing. The graduate program will offer an M.A. or M.S. in Writing with a concentration in book publishing.
PSU's Conflict Resolution program is currently preparing three books for an imprint to be called Resolution Books. The press is also negotiating the acquisition of, among others, a first novel, two books on writing, a nonfiction photo essay work, several fiction reprints, and a cookbook series.
The Ooligan Press is named after a type of smelt, a small fish that was an economic anchor in Native American culture in the Northwest. The press's titles will be distributed by Consortium.
For more information about Ooligan Press or the publishing program, contact Dennis Stovall.
