Join us this week with our eleventh episode of the Why Bother? Podcast hosted by Gareth Davies as we speak with Ron Corbett, from Ottawa Press and Publishing.
Ron is an author and owner of Ottawa Press and Publishing. He walks us through the publishing process, how they choose what books to print and how they source “relentlessly local” stories. Ottawa Press and Publishing was established in 2015, as a way to celebrate local Ottawa stories. All of their books are printed in Canada and use high-quality paper stock. Interestingly, quite a few of their bestsellers started as Facebook pages & Blogs!
Ron is an author himself and is in the process of publishing his next book in his mystery Frank Yakabuski series: Muskie Falls. Ron is a celebrated author & journalist, who has prided himself on sharing local and Canadian tales. Spanning Time: The Bridges of Ottawa/Gatineau is one of the newest releases that you can find at Maker House & other bookstores.
