About Twin Peaks Press and Services  

Twin Peaks Press is a national PR, mailing list, marketing, book publishing, promotion, self publishers' resource, publishers' services and consulting company established in 1982.  Although located on Main Street in Vancouver, Washington (suburb of Portland) for many years, we've mainly served self publishers and business owners throughout the rest of the U.S. and Canada. With a broad online presence also, our first website went up in the early days of the Internet.  We're experts on Internet and online marketing too!  Over the years we've given workshops and presented at  writers', publishers' and entrepreneurs' conferences. 

In the past we have organized thousands of cooperative mailings for publishers and producers.

We published the Twin Peaks television show catalog of products (we came along first though!) and international newsletter after being inundated with calls on our toll-free line by Twin Peaks fans and then received a lot of national media attention.  We definitely took advantage of the situation!

We've been written up in hundreds of newspapers and other publications, and featured many times -- both radio and television.
