Communicating with Impact

Writing, editing and publishing services

Five decades of professional publishing experience

 

Since 1974, Geoff Upward has created and produced a wealth of award-winning publications — from hardcover books to trade paperbacks, from magazines to annual reports, from coloring books to cookbooks. Retiring from institutional management in 2021, he decided to hang out his electronic shingle as a communications and publishing consultant and practitioner to help others effectively transform their thoughts and words into print . . . and share them with wider audiences.

 

Testimonials

“Geoff Upward and I worked closely together on two of my books. Geoff is a talented communicator, a great editor and one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He has great ideas, a keen eye for detail and a sharp and creative mind. I can think of no finer example of integrity, talent and professionalism in his field than Geoff Upward.”

— Ernie Harwell, Hall-of-Fame Detroit Tigers broadcaster and author of Diamond Gems and The Babe Signed My Shoe

“It is rare in the field of preservation history to find a book that adequately fills an important gap, but Geoffrey Upward’s A Home for Our Heritage is such a work. Upward’s accomplishment is particularly impressive because he was working under a strict deadline (dictated by a celebration). The account is so readable that the general public will find the story of Henry Ford’s search for old buildings a fascinating review of one man’s definition of living history.”

— Charles Hosmer, professor of history and author

“Geoff Upward is the consummate professional communicator. His leadership and professionalism contributed greatly to our mission. I relied heavily on his public relations and communications counsel. He played a pivotal role in creating our message and in designing strategic plans for disseminating that message.”

— Gary Russi, former president of Oakland University
