Roundwood Press
A River of Reading
About Roundwood Press
Roundwood is a highland town in County Wicklow, Ireland. It is located close to the Glendalough monastery—where, from the sixth to twelfth centuries, monks toiled to copy manuscripts as well as to produce new books. Centuries later, from about 1810 to 1830, the town included Roundwood Press, run by the Bull family and which produced pamphlets, reports and short books that were sold in Dublin.
This land is a meld of wild beauty and pivotal literary history, where monks copying manuscripts helped keep the wheels of civilization spinning.
When I was growing up, my family spent years living in Ireland, near the Wicklow Hills. The village of Roundwood and its surroundings were a favored location for us to explore. Two of my siblings had their wedding festivities at the Roundwood Inn, and as kids we sometimes camped out next to the Roundwood reservoir and went fishing.
Roundwood Press primarily sells books by myself, T. Mullen, an American who grew up exploring Roundwood and the Wicklow Hills.
My latest book is The Winemakers’ Cooking Companion, a collection of 100+ recipes from winemakers, winery chefs and winery owners from 18 countries.
My latest fiction book from Roundwood Press is titled River of Rome, and was published in early 2026.
