Welcome to my Web site!
My name is George Sheldon.
George Sheldon, Journalist & Author
I am a writer, journalist, and author, located in Lancaster, PA. I am the author of 31 published books. This Web site has information about me, my writing, workshops, and some of my books.
My books have been about history, business, mysteries, and writing.I am actively writing and working on several more, and should soon have an announcement about my next book. I am now researching a true crime book. I am also writing another book about Pennsylvania history. I have several other books forthcoming.
I have a special section of information especially for other nonfiction writers and authors. This section is expanding and I am adding more to my document library. I am also expanding my Web presence, making this site larger.
I am a member of the Society of Professional Journalists.

Get Your Book Published!
I have been taking some time off this summer, revamping my Get Your Published! seminar updated. I’ll be posting more on my unique program very soon. Please check back for more information…which will be posted soon.
Sourcebooks Updated Site with George’s Book Information
I originally published When the Smoke Cleared at Gettysburg with Cumberland House. Sourcebooks acquired Cumberland House late last year.
I just noticed that the cover image and my byline was not part of Sourcebooks updated Web site. Well, they responded quickly and updated their database for me. You can see the new listing of this book, which is still selling well, here.
New Fax Number
Just when I thought I could get rid of FAX, suddenly everyone (well, at least some people) want to send faxes to me. So I added a fax again to the ways people can contact me. I guess fax is really not dead.
My new fax number is: (717) 427-1559. I’ll be adding this number to my contact page, too.
