About Bright Skylark Literary Productions
Bright Skylark Literary Productions is a multi-tiered intellectual properties enterprise with a mission dedicated to the production, promotion, and preservation of fine literary craftsmanship as an essential component of the cultural arts. The initiative to date has produced acclaimed memoirs, celebrated fiction, award-winning creative non-fiction, award-winning poetry, influential essays, innovative visual art, and creative adventures in inspired originality.
While Bright Skylark has been recognized as a major supporter of works by Author-Poet Aberjhani, it has also served as a much larger umbrella for several publishing and website imprints. In addition, it has functioned as the editorial anchor for a number accomplished partners and clients. Literary imprints have included Black Skylark Singing and Creative Thinkers International (along with its former and current online satellite communities).
In its capacity as an editorial consultancy and publishing industry liaison, the organization has been honored to help valued clients achieve the publishing success they desired. Among the titles for which it has provided editorial services are the following: Sparky Fights Back, A Little Dog’s Big Battle Against Cancer (Clerens, J., and Clifton, J., 2005); What Leaders Believe (2010, Polk, C., and White, W.) Savannah, Immortal City, Vol. 1 of the Civil War Savannah Series (2011); and Savannah, Brokers, Bankers and Bay Lane, Vol. 2 of the Civil War Savannah Series (Sheehy, B., Wallace, C., and Goode-Walker, V., 2012).

It later served as a publishing partner for novels by ESSENCE Magazine-bestselling author Robert T.S. Mickles Sr. and celebrated Georgia poet David Hightower.
