Our StoryThe press is run on a volunteer basis, but is owned by Dr. María J. Estrada who funds all the publications. All the people who support the press through their volunteer work are independent writers and graphic artists.
The press also publishes work by members of Penned in the City: A Creative Writing Group for All. The contributions from the authors and artists in this group have been amazing and awe inspiring. All the proceeds go to a charity of choice. In the future, the goal is for the book sales to cover the production of the book and, some day, for advances we can be proud of〰️〰️for contracted authors. |
From the Beginning |
Where We Are Now |
We wanted to generate at least one anthology a year where all the proceeds would go to a charity of choice. The goal was to publish maybe one or two books a year with the intent of uplifting the voices of emerging writers.
|
We have produced four books Nation: A Book by Penned in the City, Unity, Volume 1: A Magical Realism Anthology, Wofltrek, and My Spoken Word Wife, featuring our first poet!
