about us.






Outpost19 is an independent publisher
based in New York and San Francisco.

We're committed to delivering provocative reading,
without the constraints of print.

Some titles are short, others are long.
Whatever it takes, with concision and style.

Fiction, memoirs, essays, testimonies.
The shining exception. The artful argument.
The story you don't want to stop.

Look for our titles at major digital booksellers.
When the roar gets loud enough, we're ready with
old-school print editions too.

Jon Roemer serves as publisher/editor in San Francisco.
In New York, Robert Schirmer does much of the same.

Jon studied literature and fiction writing at Northwestern. Bob did it at Hamline, New Hampshire and Arizona. Jon has developed creative projects for a handful of Fortune 100 companies. Bob is a Pushcart and O. Henry award winner and teaches in New York.
