FAULTLINE PRESS
About Us
ABOUT US
Faultline Press was launched in 2013 by co-founders David Gleeson and Colleen Crangle. Originally in San Francsico, Faultline Press now has its home in Palo Alto with an editorial office in London.
An independent publisher in the San Francisco Bay Area, Faultline creates and publishes materials that explore some fissure in society, whether at the personal or institutional level. Its first offering was a memoir about a ‘colored girl’ fitting into the academy in an era thought to be post-racial in the United States. Faultline also seeks to discover new seams of writing on topics others have ignored.
Whether practical, educational or expressive, the work of Faultline Press exemplifies excellence in writing on topics that matter.
We embrace new voices young or old. We ask two questions: Do you have something important to say? Can you present your ideas skillfully?
Faultline Press is committed to giving new writers a platform from which they can address the world.
