I was happy to received the following from classmate Dan Kohan:
I want to let you know about a new venture I’m working on, and call on my classmates for help. I’ve run a graphic-design firm call Sensical Design & Communication here in DC for the last six years. The company has been focused on publication design for non-profits and financial-services firms, including designing a number of books and book covers and helping my clients navigate the publishing and self-publishing process. At the end of last year, I decided, with support from my wife, to leverage that expertise and start my own publishing company, Ruka Press. Our plan with this new company will be to put out nonfiction books that explain or illuminate complex subjects for a general audience.
This is where I need help from my classmates: we’re looking for authors, and what’s a better source for that than Yale? We are looking for books that explain things, that make an argument, that demystify. We are interested in economics, science, the arts, climate change and sustainability, but we’re open to other areas, too. We like building charts and graphs, tables and timelines. Our politics are progressive, but our books need not be political.
We’re not a vanity press, we don’t charge authors to publish their books. I’m looking to partner with authors to put out excellent books, so that we can both be successful. Check out the website, http://rukapress.com, to find out more about us and see how to submit a proposal.
Of course, I’d also love to hear from classmates who are interested in Sensical Design, or who just want to catch up.
Thanks!
