We specialize in producing content for leading publishers in library, school, and trade reference markets. Formerly known as Golson Books, Ltd., the company is increasingly providing digital media, including audio and video, for electronic and web-based product delivery.

Headed by J.

Sharpe, and others. Golson Media was founded in 2002 and has partnered with General Editors from distinguished universities and Pultizer Prize-winning authors to work with our select group of creative editors, designers, managers, and full-service staff.
