The Press
The Holland Press is the publishing home of Victor Holland of Bryant, Arkansas — historical fiction, and whatever comes after, issued under one roof.
Its first undertaking is Living Stories: a novel released in episodes, in text and in audio, while the manuscript is still unfinished — every episode in two narrations, the author’s own voice or the voice of Immel, and the listener chooses. Readers don’t just follow along — through the Workshop they offer characters, complications, and historical detail, and the Contributors’ Ledger records the ideas that make it into the book. The author keeps the pen. The readers share the journey.
The First Book
Carbonari
Immel Hoffstedder, a farmer’s wife in Austrian-occupied Lombardy, was trained as a girl for a secret society that may no longer exist. When trouble comes to the old Danzia estate, everything she was taught begins to wake.
Readers can influence the journey without being promised control of the destination.

The House
The Holland Press was built as a house, and a house has more than one room. If you have a book and no wish to walk the conventional road, there may be a place for it here.
