Coach House Publishing is a collaborative project involving our full-time staff and an ever-changing number of people from the writing, arts, and publishing communities. We all do a variety of work, but our core team and its tasks consist of the following:Publisher Stan Bevington was the founder and original publisher of Coach House Press in 1965. He is also the sole owner of Coach House Printing Limited, a luxury book printing company for the book trade since 1965. He has won numerous design awards and is a pioneer in the use of computer technology in the fields of design, publishing and printing.Editorial Director Alanah Wilcox is responsible for acquisitions and editorial, as well as overseeing day-to-day operations. She is the author of The Rules of Endings (Mercury Publishing, 2000).
Editor-in-Chief Crystal Sikma is responsible for turning manuscripts into books that you can hold in your hands, read on screen, or listen to on audio. Its work includes editorial, production, design, rights, licensing and grants. I previously worked at a small publishing house (Bellevue Literary House) and a large literary agency(Writers House) in New York before settling in the perfectly sized Coach House.
