Forty Press

An Independent Publisher Forty Press is an independent publisher with strong ties to the major markets. We know where the bodies are buried.

And we know how to keep your work from going six feet under. Its founders may be vain, but this is no “vanity press”. Forty Press judiciously selects and carefully vets all of its offerings based on quality, marketability, and the long term potential of the author. We don’t publish unless, or until, those three criteria are met. At Forty Press, we do not just put our name on a cover: we put our sh

oulders behind every work. Each of the founders bring years of experience in publishing and related markets. Each work receives careful and comprehensive support during each phase of the process, guaranteeing a level of professionalism that few authors can achieve on their own. An author may be able to place their books into stores, but a Forty Press author places those same books into customers’ hands. More likely what resonates with you is the fact that Forty Press grew from the experience of one of its founders taking his work from conception to customer. From the first scratches of an outline on yellow legal pads to signing published copies at bookstores across the Midwest, Forty Press has been there. It knows how hard an author labors and will match it every time. Today, anyone can go it alone. Too often, however, that’s how their work is left: alone. Success requires more. The manuscript is just the beginning of the process. Let Forty Press take it the rest of the way.

Come by Barnes & Noble Saturday, June 12th and meet Tom Hickey!

Tom will be signing POPEYE: Memoirs of a Cultural Barbarian. Dubbed "Forest Gump meets Jack Kerouac" travel from his Midwestern upbringing, raucous college years, European travels, life in Poland behind the Iron Curtain, raising a family out West, running marathons, South Africa, the Great Recession, and struggles with addiction. Whether you laugh, cry, or just shake your head, you will be moved by POPEYE; and that’s why writers write and readers read.

"I was present during a reading of some selections from this book by the author. It is written so vividly and in a way that one feels as though they were present for each and every story. I was fortunate to meet this man and spend some time with him. Just being around him and his stories and the person he is changed the man I am."

Like being present in another person’s story.
