 Live Wire Press History

Live Wire Press came into being in 1998 through Patricia Adler, at the time an editor and book designer at Hampton Roads Publishing Company based in Charlottesville. Pat is a writer and poet and took over the reins of The Poet’s Domain, a poetry anthology, from ROADS Publishing when Joseph Adams announced his retirement from book publishing. At the same time, she launched a short story collection called In Good Company.

Published authors were sought and asked to contribute a pro bono short story for a particular issue. The raison d’être of In Good Company is to surround a published and featured author with lesser known and unpublished writers, thus putting them “in good company.” Previous featured authors include Robert Bausch, D.S. Lliteras, David Baldacci, and Leslie Schwartz.

     Live Wire Press is also available for editorial and printing services, i.e. chapbooks, memoirs, etc. Please contact Pat Adler at arieseagle@gmail.com for quotes.
