Since the beginning in 1985, Brandylane’s mission has been to help previously unpublished and talented writers and poets break into print.
As a veteran teacher of English, creative writing, journalism, literature and cultural mythology for more than twenty-five years, Robert Pruett’s love of teaching and working with writers has merged into his passion for publishing, and he continues to nurture new and professional authors. His own experience as a published poet and essayist gives him a sensitive understanding of the writing and publishing process.
In 2010, he founded Belle Isle Books, a new division of Brandylane, created to offer subsidy, cooperative and publishing guidance to budding writers whose work does not match the narrowing scope of Brandylane's title list.
