Bill Kimberlin

The stretch of Fifth Avenue below Washington Square has long been a quiet hub for publishers and literary types. Bill Kimberlin operates from this area, handling book production in a city where independent presses face steep competition. The neighborhood’s mix of NYU energy and old-school Manhattan pragmatism suits a publisher working outside the major-house spotlight.

As a book publisher, the focus here spans editing, design coordination, and distribution logistics—the unglamorous but essential work of turning manuscripts into physical books. While many publishers cluster in Midtown, this operation stays rooted downtown, where printing history and academic demand create a steady undercurrent. Questions about submissions or project timelines would logically start with a direct call.

Visitors can find the office at 55 5th Ave, New York, NY 10003. To discuss a project or confirm details, the number is (212) 206-5635. For precise directions, the map lays out the shortest routes through Greenwich Village’s grid.
