New Acquisition

The Literary Estate of Zetta Castellan

Harpring House Press & Archives has begun cataloging the unpublished writings of celebrated Harpring author, Zetta Castellan.

Zetta was a novelist born and raised in Harpring, Wisconsin, where the town’s quiet beauty and deeply buried secrets shaped much of her work. Drawn to stories of family, memory, and the truths people spend a lifetime trying to outrun, she wrote extensively during her lifetime. Following her death at the age of fifty-four, a collection of her recovered manuscripts and handwritten letters were entrusted to the Harpring House Press & Archives, where her work continues to be preserved and shared with readers for the first time.

  • Editorial Policy

    Harpring House Press & Archives preserves each recovered manuscript as faithfully as possible. Obvious printing defects have been corrected for readability, but intentional revisions, crossed-out passages, unusual spelling, punctuation, and formatting have been retained when they reflect the author’s original work or contribute to the historical integrity of the document.
