Cartafaccio Editorial Staff
Linda Manfredini
Linda works on the editorial staff, using
freelance editors to produce Cartafaccio Editions.
She studied dramaturgy, acting, and majored
in theatre direction at St Mary's University, Twickenham, England. She has
worked as a freelance director and written articles for various publications.
In 2023 she took a number of publishing
courses at the School of Publishing in Florence, accredited by CSL Tuscany.
In recent years, she has dedicated herself to
the Cartafaccio publishing project to establish a traditional - and more
specifically, Catholic - publishing house.
Linda describes herself as a penitent who
prays, because like so many Catholics she once lived immersed in sin without
even realising, but thanks to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and
the admonition of Padre Pio, in November 2009 she received the grace of
conversion.
In 2010 she discovered the
existence of Ancient Holy Mass (in Latin), and the Catholic Tradition thanks to
the priests of the St. Pius X Priestly Fraternity.
In September 2015, on the feast day of Our
Lady of Mercede, Linda married Rosario in an ancient rite ceremony at the
Church of Santa Cristina in Pimonte.
Linda's husband strongly believes in this
publishing project, and encourages and supports her at every stage.
