Telephee Press offers developmental editing, line editing, and publishing services

Telephee Press, LLC was formed in 2020, a year fraught with uncertainty from a worldwide pandemic. It seemed like a good idea just to give up on the writing life. But owner Marla Cantrell, an award-winning writer, was too busy to do that; she was editing books while quarantined. The work helped her get through those dark days.

The shutdown gave her time to think about her own writing. Marla, the winner of the Arkansas Arts Council Fellowship Award for Short Fiction, already had more than 100 published short stories. What she didn’t have was a book of her collected work. It seemed like the perfect time to make that happen.

In the months that followed, she gathered a team to produce Early Morning in the Land of Dreams and published the book under her brand new tiny press.
