Founder and Owner

Joseph D. Newcomer

Joseph is a speculative fiction and social commentary writer. His work includes Darkest Day, Diminishing Return, El Camino Blue, and the Thought & Other Absurdities blog. He started this press to publish and support authors who revel in the weird and, generally, languish in obscurity. All acquisitions go directly through him. Someday, he hopes to be sucked into an episode of The Twilight Zone, though he has a sneaking suspicion that we already were.

Editing

Marie Turko

Marie is the mind behind the deliciously hilarious Marie’s Donut Diaries Blog and a contributing writer to The Erie Reader. She has a B.A. in English with a Creative Writing Concentration from Edinboro University, a M.S. in Mass Media Arts and Journalism from Clarion University. She’s also kind of a badass. Give her some David Lynch or Alfred Hitchcock and a bag of Tastykake Mini’s, and she’s satisfied. Your work is in good, possibly powdered sugar-coated, hands.

Marketing

Andrea Greenwald

Andrea lends Dead Star Press her knowledge from a B.S. In Business Marketing from Wingate University and an M.B.A. in Marketing from Gannon University to promote the press and our authors. If your work is as weird as Doom Patrol, she is here for it. She also provides us her extreme, motherly patience with all things internet (and we thank the robot overlords for that because we think it’s the most agitating of all of the technological wizardries).
