Sometimes known as Jim Jordan, I’m known in the arts world as Jimmer Shine and in the Chinese speaking world as 芝麻, which sounds pretty much like Jimmer but means Sesame.    ~ Good times~

Over the last couple decades, I’ve traveled around the world a few times and as an active tabulator of the experience, have put together a few tomes that serve as unusually eclectic post-cards in the process. In order to share them more widely, I created this press. It is a kind project that serves to provide a platform for production and the formal inner-workings of a publishing house. It can also work for you. I’ve worked with publishers in the past and found the experience to be a good one. I hope that I can provide as much ease of production that has been shown to me in the past if you would like to work through my system.

Separately, if you are a marketing specialist and would like to talk to me about working with me, please write an email to Oblectation dash Arts at Outlook dot com for the sake of letting me know. (This is my way of being open, but avoiding the AI-bots that were such an annoyance when I had a contact-page on this site.) Please feel free to introduce yourself thoughtfully and personally, but know that I ignore most outreach, unless it seems perfectly human and interesting. Thanks.

For writers who would work with me here at Oblectation Press, know that I care about simplifying the process of getting books into people’s hands or devices, depending on designs and goals. This is an artist-focused company that counts on a creator to be sure of their book being brought to the fore. As a producer for others, I hope to be a comfortable conduit, making market-outreach possible after you’ve created your work through the distribution that I can offer. I can provide technical parameters for your book-files, and can certainly help getting them into shape, and will then aim to put your work into the markets that serve customers so that you can sell your book wherever you wish. For now, I do not offer marketing assistance, though production and sales are available through a print-on-demand service that I have organized that makes our work available to large distribution platforms such as Barnes & Nobles, Amazon, your local book seller, etc. Feel free to be in touch.
