About Us
You’d be surprised what you can learn when your office window overlooks an alley in small-town America.
Welcome to Golden Alley Press
Golden Alley Press is a small, independent publisher located in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Our tagline, “Books you’ll want to read, written by people you’ll want to meet,” describes our mission to bring interesting new voices within the Judeo-Christian tradition to light, particularly in the areas of memoir, fiction, and theology.
In the neighborhood, lunch-pail toting blue collar workers, moms with strollers, kids on scooters, and stray cats pass by our window — each of them with a story.
That got us to thinking.
Michael and Nancy Sayre fussing over every detail of a print run.
At Golden Alley Press, we suspect that there are a lot of people walking around with a book inside of them — stories the world would welcome if only it knew about them. Some of our academic friends are like that, (are you smart and broke? call us). We know priests, kindergarten teachers, jazz musicians, even an octogenarian or two, all of whom have a story to tell. Maybe you, too.
Golden Alley Press is run by a husband and wife team who direct some of the best design efforts in our market. With our books, we fuss over every detail.
Michael, our book cover and interior content designer, has been designing for regional, national, and international clients for nearly four decades. Educated at Cooper Union, he is influenced by a lifelong interest in jazz, theology, and the martial arts.
Nancy is an accomplished editor and handles all project management and marketing. She has been a successful entrepreneur for several businesses. Her interests include classic literature, theology, politics, and the subject matter of whatever book she is editing at the moment.
The work of Golden Alley Press is also inspired by the kaleidoscopic lives of their seven children and two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen grandchildren.
