| About
the Founders Kevin Walzer and Lori Jareo founded WordTech Communications in 1998 as an editorial services firm. In the fall of 2000, they announced a call for entries in the first annual Word Press Poetry Prize. In July 2001, they published Leslie Anne Mcilroy's book of poems Rare Space as the winner of that contest. The following year, poetry and poetry contests became the company's sole focus, as new imprints Cherry Grove, CustomWords, David Robert Books, Textos Books, Turning Point, and WordTech Editions were added. They company also switched from Windows to Macintosh computers. In December 2003, WordTech Communications became WordTech Communications LLC. The following July, contests were dropped in favor of open submissions, and by the fall of 2005, the company had published more than 100 books with many more under contract. Kevin Walzer earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Cincinnati. He has also worked in business as a marketing coordinator for an outsourcing firm and a software vendor. Lori Jareo worked for several years as a trade journalist. Both now live in Cincinnati. |
