The author and founder of Monster House Publishing Paul McAllister discusses publishing and more, with Joseph Planta.

Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.  

Paul McAllister had a lifelong dream to publish a children’s story. He shopped it around to publishers in and around Atlantic Canada, but he soon realised he could do it himself. There and Back Again, A Herman Tale, which was illustrated with Emily Brown, was published in 2014, and soon other authors and illustrators sought to realise their own dreams, and Monster House Publishing was born. Paul joins me now, and I’ll get him to tell us his story about creating this publishing house, and what he wants to accomplish. He also shares his personal story of growing up with ADHD and Dysgraphia. I’ll also ask Paul about publishing from that side of the country, and what young readers want. The website for more is at www.monsterhousepublishing.com. We talked last month, with Paul joining me from Fredericton, New Brunswick. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Paul McAllister; Mr. McAllister, good morning.
