Today, thousands of young heroes return from battle emotionally intense with a need to tell their story only to find a wall of rejection. Finally, a publishing company has emerged that will listen and help military authors get their stories out to the public instead of festering within, never to be told.

Lt. Col. Neil Levin, USMC (Ret) who heads (Leatherneck Publishing, a division of Levin Publishing Group, LLC) built his unique publishing company to provide a safe haven for military personnel who draft their stories to get serious consideration for publication. According to Levin, “We certainly can’t publish every manuscript offered, but we guarantee every one will be thoroughly attended and the genuinely, well written stories receive our editor’s maximum attention and creative guidance to the author to refine and polish the manuscript for book production. This process usually takes 6 to 9 months and results in a rewarding work we are proud to bear the name, Leatherneck Publishing.”

Leatherneck Publishing is in production now on two excellent non-fiction autobiographies to be released in mid-March entitled “An Angel Rode My Wing” and “Street Fight In Iraq”. “An Angel Rode My Wing” is the saga of a maverick top gun pilot’s 20-year career rise from Naval Aviation Cadet to a highly decorated Marine Lt. Colonel. The book is filled with danger, love and laughter. Feel the thrill of high-speed aerial combat maneuvers and the survival tactics after being shot down over North Vietnam. “Street Fight In Iraq” puts you in the passenger seat on a second by second combat life threatening seven month tour of duty filled with intrigue, terror, and humor. Both books are a “thrilling read and a real page turner.

Leatherneck Publishing functions as a complete traditional publishing company in Southern California and serves all branches of the US military. In addition, Leatherneck Publishing operates as a marketing aggregator and distributor for already published military books to expand their distribution in the market place. Levin continued, “We adapted specific channel marketing techniques to creatively address and re-focus on book publishing circulation challenges. We are exceedingly successful in our niche military market”. Levin invites all active duty, retired and those former military personnel with a story to tell to contact him.

Our motto: “If it’s a military book, we have your target in our sights.”
