Company Performance Metrics
- William Kiester: Founder, Publisher & President
- Pat Folta: CFO
Page Street Publishing is a publishing company that produces large format, full-color books, packed with original photography. They publish more than 120 titles a year and they have been featured in Publishers Weekly’s Fastest Growing Independent Publisher article four years in a row. Their staff is full of smart, caring, and passionate book
people, and the strength of our authors and their content is the beating heart of the company. Their foundation consists of books with high-quality information from experts in their fields—thoughtfully edited and designed—and then printed on premium paper with top-tier color reproduction.
Page Street Publishing's core is still a wide range of cookbooks, including high-end recipes from top restaurant chefs, fast and easy dishes for families from Internet phenoms, and delicious barbecue from top competition pitmasters. But applying their unique approach to other categories has led to strong selling titles in crafts, interior design, and kids' activities, among other lifestyle topics. They are also seeing success with their new YA list, which has received a nice batch of starred reviews and strong sales of their recent releases. The children’s picture book list is just launching with four books published in 2018, and nineteen coming in 2019, the focus remaining on the quality of the illustrations and storytelling.
Their editorially-driven, diverse, and independent publishing operation is complemented by our distribution through Macmillan, a Big Five publisher with a strong corporate sales force, which gives us best-in-the-market distribution. They have sales channels open to all the major book outlets as well as mass merchandisers like Costco, and special sales accounts such as West Elm and Crate and Barrel, and occasionally QVC, Nordstrom, Williams-Sonoma, Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters, and Anthropologie.
