Sticking Place Books was established in 2015 by Paul Cronin, the editor of Alexander Mackendrick’s On Film-Making: An Introduction to the Craft of the Director, Werner Herzog’s A Guide for the Perplexed, Abbas Kiarostami’s Lessons with Kiarostami and Paul Williams’ Peace of Mind. His films include studies of Amos Vogel, Peter Whitehead and Haskell Wexler’s Medium Cool. He edited the book A Time to Stir: Columbia ’68, about the 1968 student protests at Columbia University, and made an accompanying 15½-hour documentary on the subject. Paul is on the board of Cineaste magazine, has translated several titles from French for Sticking Place Books, and is near completion on a series of books by and about Alexander Mackendrick. Aware of the frustrations experienced by authors when working with traditional publishers, he collaborates one-to-one with all SPB authors, personally supervising every stage of the process, from submission to publication.
