Janice Stauffer Publishing
Following a lifetime dedicated to dramatic storytelling, Janice established Janice Stauffer Publishing with a single purpose: to steward, preserve, and republish the complete 10-book literary archive of her late husband, author Ed Stauffer.
Applying the same artistic rigor, typographic care, and deep reverence for storytelling that defined her design career, Janice brings Ed’s books back into print for long-time readers and new audiences alike.
