Welcome to Genius Book Publishing!

Genius Book Publishing, established in 2011, is a medium-sized press focused on true crime, music history, and fiction titles. 

Over the last decade and a half, we have published such diverse authors as Dr. Al Carlisle, The Rock And Roll Detective® Jim Berkenstadt, Dr. Don Redden (FBI Ret), Dr. Mark Hewitt, Sheriff’s Capt. Dean T. Olson (Ret), Police Chief David Dean (Ret), photojournalist Monty Orrick, undercover investigator “Billy the Liquor Guy,” journalist James Kirkpatrick Davis, Detective Steve Rush (Ret), attorney and private investigator Tony Reid, private investigator and activist LaDonna Humphrey, journalist Monique Patterson, KMOV-TV (CBS) veteran reporter Bob Cyphers, archivist Tony Wright, photographer and music historian Harold Sherrick, researcher Robert Harwood, radio personalities "Thrashpie" Ted Prichard, Mike Stark, Steve Propes, and Jim Dawson, music historian Dub Taylor, and music photographer Sarah Sharaf-Eldien. 

Genius Book Publishing is actively seeking a partnership with the media (journalists, bloggers, podcasters, documentarians, YouTube personalities, and anyone who is seeking content for their audiences). Rather than simply looking for "exposure" for our authors-a one-sided proposition-we seek to provide the media with bona fide experts in their fields. We understand that the decision makers in the media, the producers and editors, can often take their pick of sources for interviews and commentary, and our goal is to become the go-to source for those decision makers.

You are encouraged to reach out to us if you are interested in learning more about our experts. We look forward to filling your airtime and column inches with authoritative information your readers, viewers, and listeners will love.
