![]() Jack Woodford was born Josiah Pitts Woolfolk in Chicago in 1894 and grew to be the grandfather of Sleaze. Known equally for his entertaining and informative non-fiction books on writing, Woodford wrote dozens of popular erotica novels from the 1930s through the 1950s. He began as a journalist, also worked for Julius Haldeman's Little-Blue Books and in 1931 started writing novels for the early New York hardcover erotica publisher, William Godwin. Woodford did a stint in Hollywood where he wrote a number of romantic-comedy shorts in the late-1930s and supplied the early paperback house, AVON, with manuscripts and reprint rights to earlier work. In the late 40s Citadel approached Woodford about forming The Woodford Press to do hardcover reprints of his bestselling early novels (as well as publish a handful of writers Woodford personally selected). Woodford agreed, but after a few years, royalties were disputed and Woodford abandoned the imprint which bore his name and began publishing under his own Signature Press. He died in 1971, but is still in print via another publishing entity Jack Woodford Memorial Editions. New titles will be added as they become available. |
