Q Press is a publishing company run by three rather odd people. There is Suzanne Deakins. She started her first publishing company, Spirit Press, some years ago after getting out of the corporate marketing world. Then we have Larry Foltz whose main career is as an "Intuitive Counselor." He really doesn't like being called a psychic because that puts all kinds of pre-conceived notions into peoples' heads. And last of all there's me, Aaron C. Yeagle. I spent 20 years of my life in the music business, mostly marketing, although I've run distribution companies and owned record labels. Suzanne and Larry had been working on Spirit Press together for a year or two and when they met me they asked me to become a partner in the company because they wanted to start an imprint to Spirit Press ... and that was Q Press. Q Press' tagline is "The Literary Advocate for the GLBT Community." Kind of a fancy way of saying that we print books by, for, and about gays, lesbians, transgender folks, and bisexuals. We were going to add Q, Q, and F - queer, questioning and friendly - and we do, but thought that "The Literary Advocate for the GLBTQQF Community" just didn't flow that well. Keep an I on this blog for tidbits that won't necessary be on the official Q Press website .... like the fact that Rene' Capone is incredibly cute as well as talented, and he's deathly allergic to cats.
