About Broadstone Media
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Broadstone Media LLC is a cultural
promotion company based in Frankfort, Kentucky,
founded in 2003 by long-time friends Stephan L.
Taylor and Larry W Moore.
The name “Broadstone” is an amalgam (or "mash
up" as we'd say today) of Broadway and
Limestone, for the streets in Lexington, Kentucky
where we attended college (respectively,
Transylvania University for Moore and the
University of Kentucky for Taylor). The name is
thus an homage to the time when we first began a
life-long commitment to arts and letters as well as
a hint at the breadth of the company’s scope. By
chartering our company to promote cultural
activities generally, we are able to pursue a wide
range of interests.

In 2003, under the imprint Broadstone Books, we began a publishing venture with Frankfort author
Sheila Bucy Potter’s Home Place and Other Poems as our first title. Since then we have issued two or
more titles each year, including works by A. R. Ammons, Robert Morgan, Frederick Smock, Steven
Cope, Vickie Cimprich, Paul M. Pearson and particularly, Jonathan Greene. Greene, himself a
publisher and book designer for over forty years, has designed all of the Broadstone publications and
has been an essential mentor for our publishing efforts. While we specialize in poetry and related
titles, there are no restrictions on genre or subject for consideration for publication by the press.
In 2004 we established the Broadstone Gallery @ KECU, an alternative art space located in the lobby of
the Kentucky Employees Credit Union in Frankfort. In 2010 the credit union Board of Directors
officially named this space the Jane Chancellor Moore Gallery in honor of the late gallery curator (see
more below). Inspired by artist Stephanie Potter (a frequent exhibitor), our gallery is devoted to
displaying original art by new and established local and regional artists working in a wide range of
media, providing a venue for artists to connect with viewers who don't necessarily go to art galleries,
and an opportunity for credit union members, staff and visitors to enjoy a rotating exhibit of original
art.
In keeping with our expansive charter, Broadstone has engaged in other ventures including
sponsorship of local theatre (Taylor is a playwright whose original works and adaptations have been
performed in local venues) and of annual prizes for the Kentucky State Poetry Society.
From our founding until her untimely death in 2010, Jane Chancellor Moore (Larry's wife) was a
tireless contributor to every aspect of our operation. We dedicate this web site to her memory, and
invite you to visit our tribute page to Jane by clicking here.
