"What does a panda have to do with old-time radio?" "What does BearManor Media mean?
Do you live on a mountain?" "Why is BearManor one word?"
Well, even we aren't sure how
to answer those. But the logo is cute, isn't it?
Ben Ohmart here, and I started this publishing company in
2001, as a writer. I learned how hard it was to tap into the mainstream market with what is essentially nostalgia fodder.
So I published The Great Gildersleeve myself. Then I learned something important.
I seemed to enjoy the publishing side more than the writing side, so, when I began to get offers to publish other people's
work (Jane Kean was one of the first), I began doing what I love full time. It still doesn't seem like work. And I know
now that that's the greatest life of all.
We've been putting out more titles lately - some hot stuff
too. So, THANK YOU, for all your support.
Ben Ohmart
