About Jenoco Publishing

Jenoco Publishing was born from the writing of Jack O'Brien (John J. O'Brien) and son Richard O'Brien, and expanded to include the Double Bridge imprint publications. The father was the President of the Canadian Writer's Guild in the early 1970's writing four books at a torrential pace in his Spartan tiny office on Markham St, in Toronto, Canada. He read to packed hushed audiences in Toronto and elsewhere but refused to publish. The son, Richard, inherited all of his writing and combined they had more than 20 manuscripts. The son went on to open a crowd-sourcing publishing platform for four years called Double Bridge Publishing with more than 300 professional members. It published 8 titles and had four touring authors. Jenoco Publishing's first offerings are BREAK GLASS: In Case of Genocide - Break Glass, The Women's 100: 100 Women Leaders of Nations and Peoples, both written by Richard O'Brien and offered currently, and It's Like This,  the first book of Jack O'Brien, his book of poetry where he takes his artist's pallet (he painted the ceilings and walls of a dozen churches and cathedrals and one state house in the eastern United States) to describe life, love and death. Break Glass was based on Richard's 25 years of research and experience as a human rights activist and is written about heroes and strategies that have intervened in m,assacres and genocide, including his Center for the Prevention of Genocide.

Jenoco Publishing will offer some of the Double Bridge Titles and concentrate on human rights, women's studies, select fiction and the O'Brien archive of manuscripts. Author's and surrogates available for events, workshops, videos and interviews.
