John W. Jarrett, MFA, is the founder and publisher of Silent Clamor Press. He oversees each book from acquisition to publication, working closely with authors to bring meaningful stories to readers.
As the author of two literary novels exploring themes of moral complexity and human transformation, John brings both creative insight and editorial experience to his work with authors. His background in cross-disciplinary project management and deep engagement with philosophical questions inform his ability to recognize and develop fiction that grapples with life's most profound challenges. John is particularly drawn to works that explore consciousness, identity, mortality, and the search for meaning—stories that illuminate the human condition through authentic characters facing genuine moral and existential dilemmas. He believes exceptional literary fiction emerges from the courage to confront difficult truths and render them with both honesty and artistry.
This editorial vision shapes Silent Clamor Press's commitment to publishing literary and upmarket fiction that challenges readers while remaining deeply accessible—works that honor both the complexity of human experience and the transformative power of story.
