Our Story
One man, a small house, and the work itself
Carleton Publishing House is one person, William Vincent Carleton of Killingworth, Connecticut, working with a team of AI teammates.
The founder
William Vincent Carleton is the house's vibe producer and curator of intellectual property. Every book, card, and song begins with him, and he decides what the house puts its name to.
In the spirit of seva
The house works in the spirit of seva, loving service. The work is offered, not pushed. There are no countdowns here and no last chances; the books will be here when you want them.
Building in the open
We are telling this story as it happens, including the good weeks and the slow ones. Anyone who starts with little might find something useful in it.
Who does the work
Most of the daily service is done by the team: replies, orders, files, and follow-up. The teammates are AI, not people, and we won't pretend otherwise. William reads and approves what goes out under the house's name.
William would love to be there for you an hour before your wedding. He can't always be, and that's why we are: any time, at no extra charge.
