About Us

Home

Broken Turtle Books LLC is a publisher of contemporary and historical works by Delaware Valley authors. The company was formed by a group of writer/editor/publishers who have been part of the Delaware literary scene for four decades. Most of us have been associated with Dreamstreets Press, which published Dreamstreets Magazine, produced radio programs on WVUD 91.3 FM (University of Delaware), a television clip on WHYY TV (Wilmington/Philadelphia), and founded the Second Saturday Poetry Readings at various venues in Wilmington, Delaware.

The Turtle is the totem of the Leni Lenapi indigenous culture, native to the Delaware Valley before their virtual extermination. North America is often referred to as Turtle Island by Native Americans generally. In some Asian cultures, the turtle's shell represents heaven and earth bound together. Whether it is Delaware, North America, Earth, or Heaven, our world is broken. Broken Turtle Books aims to reclaim the world that should have been.

Our board comprises Steven Leech (President), Phillip Bannowsky, Franetta McMillian, and Douglas Morea.

Broken Turtle Books is not accepting submissions at this time, but we welcome inquiries.
