Let Us Introduce Ourselves
The Bookhouse Group core staff includes Rob Levin as president and editor, Barry Levin as publisher, and Renée Peyton as chief operating officer.
Rob and Barry are brothers and business partners. Natives of rural North Carolina, they grew up in both the textile industry and peach business, and thankfully for those industries, neither brother pursued them as gainful employment. Our focus has never wavered: an absolute commitment to quality in any and all aspects of book publishing, corporate histories, and commemorative books. The writing, design, editing, archival searches, new photography, and printing; even warehousing and distribution must all represent the finest book publishing talent dedicated to capturing your story—and do it within your budget. Whether your book is a turnkey project or you only want design and printing or anything in between, you can trust your book to us. From the most critical phase to the smallest nuance, Bookhouse will do it right.
Rob Levin President & EditorRob Levin, president and editor, graduated from the University of Denver and wrote for newspapers in Colorado, Arizona, and Rhode Island before being recruited to Georgia as the Atlanta Journal & Constitution’s first national feature writer. After ten years in daily journalism, Rob went freelance and his business soon morphed from writing magazine pieces into developing company histories and other commemorative books. He enjoys working on historic houses (okay, “enjoy” might be stretching it) and relaxing in his and his wife’s second home in the Vermont mountains.
