In the hustle and bustle of the publishing world we are proud to be the little guy making inroads with the successes of our authors and titles. Located in the hub of the great lakes, Our Publishing House enjoys the rural life of Prince Township, just on the outskirts of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Our titles and authors reach world wide, with clients located in Australia, Switzerland, the United States and from our vast Canadian landscape. Foreign publishers often ask for samples of our titles. Being a small publisher means that we work one on one with our clients and strive to reach the same goals and successes in the publishing world.

 

It is our mandate to assist up and coming writers and to provide the reading public access to all of our authors' titles. Our clients range from first time authors to seasoned  and professional authors. We are proud to be associated with talented individuals.

 

We publish works ranging from children/juvenile novels, short stories, adult short stories, fiction, non fiction, biography and all genres in-between. For those playwrights seeking publishing and representation, we publish theatrical drama plays.

 

From book stores, library services and the general public we accept orders and ship single copies to multiple orders world wide. Foreign rights of most of our titles are available to publishers seeking to represent these titles in their countries.

 

At present, Our Publishing House lists over one hundred titles and distinguished authors and playwrights.  We distribute directly from Our Publishing House and provide our titles to registered distributors and buyers' lists world wide.

 

Detailed information on guide-lines, lists of tiles, ordering and contact information is available on the following pages. Please feel free to browse all tabs, and if you have questions feel free to contact us.

 

People often question the name of the publishing house and often give humorous facial expressions when hearing the name. When growing up as a kid, other kids lazy in nature always broke long, complicated surnames down, thus every kid in my family became know as Moose, a play on the pronunciation of my last name. It seemed fitting to carry the name on and anoint the publishing house as such. The Moose is a shy, reclusive animal but its stature in the wild is large and prominent. As a publishing house, we share some of the animal’s traits, thus the use of our logo.

 

Moose Hide Books, Our Publishing House imprint, denotes the majestic animal and the strong hide of resilience, similarities that we strive for, resilience against all odds of adversity, and to be proud of our authors and their titles.

 

I offer a thanks to you for taking this opportunity to access our web page and Our Publishing House.

Personnel Profiles

 

As a publishing house we wish to know about those individuals brave enough to submit their cherished material to us, thus the reason for asking for a brief author biography, likewise you are curious about us. You wish to know of the character of the persons you are trusting your material to. In brief I offer a profile of our associates.

 

Richard Mousseau; A writer with years of experience struggling like all other authors to present his works to the public. He has dabbled in story poetry, play writing and has found a comfortable position in writing adventure stories based in Northern Ontario. A farmer raising, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, beef and has a close relationship with his pet horses and goats that roam freely, sometimes on the font yard of the house. Being single, there is no woman of the house to nag when Richard tends to drag in farm yard manure into the house on the bottom of his boots. Though a writer in his own right he gains a delight when editing one’s work and is proud to see the author’s work develop.

 

Edmond Alcid; A Novelist, a playwright and a bit of a perfectionist and can be a bit demanding. A pleased grin can often be seen on his lips when an author’s work develops into great reading material. He is single, a loner, a recluse of sorts and often wanders aimlessly through the woods letting his dreams wander as well. It would take a while to discover what makes the man who he is, but beyond what seems like a cold, hard, seemingly arrogant exterior lies a warm, tender person that cries when a play or story hits the emotional buttons. When an author’s work does that, Edmond is as proud as a new father. Often shunning public gatherings and meetings, you would be hard pressed to see a smile or hear his praise of an author’s work well done.

 

Joseph Alicd; brings the humour to this Publishing House. An avid reader, Joseph has read all titles and plays, often quoting and acting out characters. More outgoing than older brother, Edmond, Joseph has acted, directed and has assisted in the areas of stage productions. Attempting to play all musical instruments, he has attempted, with some success and failure, built a steel guitar, recorders and clarinet flutes. A note of interest, Joseph never buys reading material. His borrowed collection of first print runs of this Publishing House’s titles is a more prolific archive than on our shelves. Joseph handles all formatting of text for final print plates and does all layouts of illustrations and cover formatting. To offset computer tension, he also oversees packaging and shipping.

 

Our external associates, include; Marc Cove; a talented illustrator. Patricia Trudeau; a talented water colour illustrator. Jan Porter; Cover illustrator. Nancy and Jamie and crew at Lamon’s printing handle the printing of text, covers and binding.

 

Together, and with our external associates, this Publishing House and its principals offers to you the talents of Moose Enterprise and Theatre Play Publishing.

 

Thank You
