Jeremy Soldevilla
Publisher / Founder / Author
Jeremy began his publishing career in Boston, copywriting and designing marketing collateral for the academic and trade book markets. His passion for the industry led him to become an acquisitions editor, marketing director, VP at two of the leading US textbook houses and Chief Operating Officer of the US office of UK publisher, Blackwell Publishing. He was the first Director of Marketing for the American Mathematical Society and Director of Academic Markets for Independent Publishers Group, managing US distribution and marketing for over 80 international academic and trade publishers from Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and the US. He started Christopher Matthews Publishing to bring his vast experience in publishing to the many excellent writers who have given up on getting their work published. He lives in Montana where he publishes, writes, skis, and enjoys Big Sky Country.
Podcast
(NOTE: Our connection at times was strange, so the sound may be different.)
First, I want to thank Jeremy for letting me chat about my WIP(s) during the podcast. Jeremy talks about the services his company provides but it was so much fun talking about our work, too — Thanks. Correction: Lana Turner was from Wallace, Idaho ;)
We talk on a variety of subjects including his company, Christopher Matthews Publishing and their services, his e-book formatting experience and its challenges, as well as his approach to writing.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about his clients and their unique novels, especially 84-year-old Edward Louis Henry and his 600-page historical fiction of the mountain man.
About Jeremy
Jeremy founded Christopher Matthews Publishing in January 2011, yet he comes in with a vast amount of knowledge in and about the publishing industry. He started the company offer information on publishing and help them realize their dream of publication. A lot of writers just want to hold their “baby”, and to share with their family and friends and those where the people he wanted to reach.
He started just staying in the fiction area, but he has since expanded to non-fiction and is now taking on YA novels.
