KALM PUBLISHING

The basic theme of our book, Sisters by Heart, is our lifestyle and philosophy as two unique Yankees. We discovered you're never too old to try something new which included the development of our publishing company and the decision to self-publish.

Selecting a name for our company was the first important step. To keep it simple, we decided a combination of our initials was what worked the best. We began with "MLK", ML for Mary Lou and K for my same-sex partner, Kay. Then someone said, "That already stands for "milk" or Martin Luther King!" We tried turning the initials around and added an "A" for Kay's last name and came up with, "KAML". The same friends said, "Oh! You're the "camel" company!" Horrors! Finally we decided to reverse my initials and came up with "KALM". This was a sure-fire name because it has kept us "calm" ever since!

We only publish our own work but we do offer proofreading and copy editing services. Check out our website, kalmpublishing.com for more information.
