Inferno Publishing
The birth of INFERNO
Inferno Newspaper began life as a conspiratorial conversation in the back room of a neighborhood bar in the winter of 2002. The first issue ran off the presses in spring of 2003.
The paper caused controversy from the very first edition. There was no middle ground; people either loved it or they hated it.
We gathered some of the brightest talent in the south Jersey and Philadelphia region to contribute gratis. We received accolades from New York and Washington for our content and wit. Working on a shoestring budget, every issue was at risk of being our last.
The economy finally dealt the paper the death blow; we were down but were were not out. Carl Johnson capitalized on his desktop publishing experience, and began publishing books rather than periodicals. Inferno Newspaper became Inferno Publishing.
Inferno Publishing is there to help the up and coming writer realize their first book. While we cannot guarantee you a slot on the New York Times best seller list, we will get your book for sale online, and without the extravagant up-front costs that most vanity publishers charge.
Who is that masked man?
In 2002, Carl B. Johnson started a publishing empire. Well, maybe not. However, a local underground newspaper was the impetus for a fringe publishing company.
THEY'LL
NEVER STOP TALKING
ABOUT YOU!
They are still talking about us. Inferno Newspaper was a sounding board for writers and artists, a clearing house for misfits, a puddle of out of the mainstream rabble-rousers.
We graduated from newspapers to books and to anything related to desk-top publishing.
