So Many Voyages
So Many Stories
Dirty Sailor Company's mission is to share the attitudes and beliefs coming from the forecastle with the ignorant world above. Through publishing sea-story, memoir, and other media content, we can edge closer and closer to our goal. We can help you in a variety of ways: self-publish, edit, publish directly, or act as a literary agent. See our work below, or check out our blog.
Our Published Works
Shipmates: Before the Mast: A Coastie's Chronicle of the Dishonorable
By PoJack Ashore and Bradley Angle
A psuedo memoir from the transitioning era of the USCG from DOT to DHS. Where the enlisted class is juxstaposed from the officer class, and thrown into the surf, tossed about like wrack, and ulitmately left alone to sink or swim.

Troubled Waters: The legacy of USCG Hero Travis Obendorf.
By his Mom, Lauire Powell
We helped Laurie create a portable biography and history of her son and the tragedies that took his life.

Our Role in Publishing
How Dirty Sailor Company Contributed to Each Book
Dirty Sailor Company doesn't pride itself. We actually find some type of meaning, contentful and even joyous, at times, meaning, in all of this stuff and time up here on the surface, where the birds touch down and bells can actually make a racket, when we interact with people, strangers as much as friends, for the purpose of analyzing, crafting, sharing or creating a seastory. Our efforts go into the genuine, the interested and focused, and into the salty and weatherworn faces of the world. We’ve contributed by giving social support from afar, by editing, formatting, taking each self-publishing step hand-in-hand, by crafting, and by winning and succeeding. You’ll find about a dozen authors through this site – only a handful of which do not use a synonym – all of whom felt, I believe, some sense of relief through our publishing and publication efforts.
