History

Fred & Barrel is a Delaware-based corporation. The publishing company was founded in 2005 on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park when one ardent illustrator decided to appreciate talent by publishing poetry, art, and how-to books worldwide.

Literature and How-To Books

The mission of F&B is “to promote artistic literature to inspire deep reflection or a hearty laugh and to enrich people through educational growth”. While F&B does not specialize in publishing books of a single genre, each of the works published shares one attribute: vivid visual expression, whether through words or illustrations.
