About Us
Madeleine Findlay
With a background in the arts, I have spent much of my time trying to find one medium that would focus all my energies. The struggles always yielded the same results: photographs never looked the same as they did through the viewfinder, paintings became muddy and I could never end a story. Eventually, I kept journals that were a combination of all three mediums. A friend once said that as long as I kept the pilot light on, some day something would click. Discovering haiku and studying the form has inspired me to start Single Island Press: the learning process has so much to offer and the results are unique for each person, every step of the way.

After my doctorate in Comparative Literature at U. C. Berkeley, I held various editing and marketing positions at The Christian Science Monitor (books editor in the ‘80s), Harvard University Press, Boston University, and Brown University, where I taught in the Brown Learning Community (continuing education). For the last decade, I have been a private literary consultant, helping authors in various genres develop their projects for publication. I write a regular poetry column for The Providence Journal.
