Our History
It All Began With a Short Story: The Tragedy in West Covina
A very young not-yet-Dr Hill wrote a fictionalized short story based upon the Seveso chemical disaster, which was published at the encouragement of his middle-school English literature teacher.
Pseudonyms, Research, and Doctors… Oh My!
While doing post-graduate research, Dr Hill was also writing short stories and novellas under several pseudonyms. At this same time, he was starting to work as a ghost writer for physicians and others.
Archipelago Publishing™ Is Created To Help Students
As a young college professor, Dr Hill set out to create affordable lab books which would actually be used and from which students would actually learn. Archipelago Publishing was born.
A Full-Fledged Publisher – True To Its Independent Roots
Today, Archipelago Publishing™ is an independent publisher of science textbooks and learning aids.
We also publish novels for a small group of private authors and provide imprint services for self-publishers.
The Tragedy In West Covina
Archipelago Publishing™ was named after the Galápagos Archipelago – a small collection of islands in the Eastern Pacific – which are very important to Dr Hill as a biologist.
We are pleased to contribute a portion of our profits to the Galapagos Conservation Trust, an organization promoting both conservation of and education about this unique enrivonment and its native inhabitants.
