Bucks County

Matt Steinmetz is the publisher and brand director of Publishing Executive.

A digital publisher plans to release a newly unearthed novel written by Pulitzer Prize winner Pearl S. Buck, a long-time Bucks County native until her death in 1973.

The new book by the author of the widely-acclaimed classic, The Good Earth, is being published with consent of her son.  Buck penned The Good Earth from her 1825 stone farmhouse in Hilltown, Upper Bucks County, and died in 1973. She and her husband, Richard Walsh, raised seven adopted children and several foster children on the 68-acre grounds, now preserved by Pearl S. Buck International.

Laura Waldron’s life is publishing. An author, a publisher and the marketing director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Press, Waldron offers a perspective on academic publishing that is uniquely well rounded. After an internship at Carnegie Mellon Press piqued her interest in publishing, she cut her teeth in sales and marketing for Princeton University Press and eventually represented 15 different university presses in the Mid-Atlantic territory as a trade sales representative. Today, she is closing in on her 10th anniversary with Penn Press and is the author of “Museums of Philadelphia: A Guide for Residents and Visitors,” which was published in 2004
