Handtype Press is a company that showcases the finest literature and art created by signers, Deaf and hearing alike, or about the Deaf or signing experience the world over. After a long hiatus, we are interested in new full-length books of interest to our global community. Handtype Press has recently established Squares and Rebels, a LGBT imprint for hearing writers with a regional focus on the Upper Midwestern experience. |

Raymond Luczak, Publisher, grew up deaf as number seven in a hearing family of nine children in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He did not learn sign language until he was 14. After high school, he went straight to Gallaudet University where he graduated magna cum laude with the Class of '88. He spent the next seventeen years in New York City where the first of his nineteen stageplays and fourteen books began to get produced and published. In September 2005 he moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. A fuller bio can be found at his personal web site. The recipient of a first place grant from the Arch & Bruce Brown Foundation for Full-Length Fiction 2003, his latest novel, Men with Their Hands, eventually won first place in the Project: QueerLit 2006 Contest. Rebel Satori Press published the novel in November 2009. His other titles include Assembly Required: Notes from a Deaf Gay Life (RID Press) and Whispers of a Savage Sort and Other Plays about the Deaf American Experience (Gallaudet University Press), Mute: Poems (A Midsummer Night's Press), and Road Work Ahead: Poems (Sibling Rivalry Press). His latest obsession? Trying out a brand-new recipe for sorbet (or ice cream) every other week! |
