Past Present Editions (Founder, Editorial Director, Designer, & Publisher)
Past Present Editions is an independent publishing house dedicated to restoring essential works of literature, philosophy, and cultural thought.
We publish books that have shaped intellectual history—works that remain vital because they continue to speak with clarity and force. These are essential visionary texts, beautifully curated and designed.
The books in our collection are all produced with the same care as the original works themselves. Each volume is carefully typeset, thoughtfully produced, and intended to serve as a permanent addition to the reader’s library. And every title is carefully prepared to ensure textual accuracy, typographic integrity, and visual clarity.
Past Present Editions exists to preserve and present ideas that endure.
Past Present Editions publishes updated and redesigned works of bold and influential literature, philosophy, and cultural insight.
This unique collection of books speak urgently to the modern world—from Stoic philosophy and early science fiction to strange tales, dystopian warnings, and literary masterpieces.
The first launch included forgotten, unheralded, and overlooked masterpieces like We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, The Iron Heel by Jack London, The Purple Cloud by M.P. Shiel, and Passing by Nella Larsen.

Past Present Editions’ latest venture is a Classics Series in partnership with Creed Fragrance. These books are some of the most popular and influential in the history of literature. We’ve redesigned and updated them to create a one-of-a-kind collectible set that appeals to a modern reader.
They’ll be available to purchase on the Past Present Editions website in early June!
