NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, USA
Award-winning Louisiana author and historian Mary Gehman has chosen W2G to carry forward the legacy of her Dville Press imprint.
Gehman, who lives in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, founded Dville Press in 2017 after running Margaret Media for over three decades. The small press specialized in Louisiana authors and topics, publishing a dozen titles including reprints of her own acclaimed works, Women and New Orleans: A History and The Free People of Color of New Orleans: An Introduction.
A respected independent scholar, Gehman has received multiple honors for her contributions to preserving Creole and Louisiana history, including the Founders Award from LA Creole and the Mayor’s Special Day of Honor from the City of New Orleans.
She continues her writing and research, currently working on a book about the Louisiana Creole migration to Mexico in the mid-to-late 1800s.
W2G is humbled to have been entrusted by Gehman to carry her legacy forward.
