Bancroft Press will shift its focus from fiction to memoirs, beginning in 2012 and 2013. The change will begin on June 12, when Bancroft will release Marcy Miller’s Rebooting in Beverly Hills: A Wise and Wild Path for Navigating the Dating World, a “dating over 50” memoir. The shift of focus notwithstanding, Bancroft will still do some fiction, Bruce Bortz, founder and publisher of Bancroft, said.
Aside from Rebooting in Beverly Hills, new titles include Gerald Felix Warburg’s Dispatches from the Eastern Front, an insider and lobbyist’s view of Washington, D.C. politics; an untitled memoir from Kevin Kelly about a former football coach who turned out to be a mob enforcer; Phyllis Hain’s Diamond in the Dark, a Southern girl’s true story of growing up in the midst of child and spousal abuse, then becoming a national champion of the abused; and in October, Walking Home with Baba, Rohini Ralby’s spiritual account of her time spent with Swami Muktananda.
