About me
Doug Seibold has been a writer, editor, and publishing professional in Chicago for 40 years, during which time he worked as a staffer for various magazines and also published journalism about books, dining, and education in newspapers and magazines in Chicago, New York, and Washington. In 2002, he founded Agate Publishing in his basement with a laptop, cellphone, and internet connection, and grew it into a diversified small independent publishing company with four trade imprints and two other learning-related lines of business. The newest of these, Agate Publishing Academy, helps aspiring publishing professionals and writers learn more about how the industry works. He also produces the semi-regular Substack, “What Publishing Is.” He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
