MOMENTUM!
In the 17 days since our Next Big Chapter campaign launch, 60 of you have pledged your support and collectively brought us to the 22% threshold!

LITERARY VALUES & VISION
I'm just back from the Catamaran Writing Conference in Northern California, where I had the opportunity to participate in a distinguished publishing panel and to share the values and vision of Atelier26 Books. It was my first such opportunity, and I spoke from the heart, outlining my idealistic reasons for founding this tiny publishing operation, and sharing the gratifications that come of forming nurturing relationships with gifted writers. What I said, in part, was that in founding Atelier26 I was seeking to answer a number of important questions, including:

What I said, in part, was that in founding Atelier26 I was seeking to answer a number of important questions, including:
- How to publish mindfully?
- How to publish, as much as possible, from the writer’s perspective?
- How to publish as beautifully as possible?
- How to be small, and still create meaningful, significant relationships with readers?
- How to be reasonable and sustainable in our aims, to grow steadily, to remain relationship-oriented, and to focus on culture (rather than a “marketplace”)?
