Last night, Phoenix Books in Burlington, Vermont, hosted the “Green Writers Press Celebration Party.” What a great event! Photos TK. Here is the swell poster Kristen at Phoenix made.

Join us to meet Dede Cummings, the publisher behind Green Writers Press, as well as authors from the new press. Phoenix Books is partnering with GWP — a new, Vermont-based publisher that prints their books in Vermont and seeks to change the way books are printed by using only post-consumer waste paper and not virgin timber — to celebrate this new indie publisher.

We’ll launch GWP’s newest title, The Beavers of Popple’s Pond, by Vermont nature writer Patti A. Smith, and get the scoop on other titles like So Little Time.

We have lots of news to share and our actual newsletter is coming out next month! Stay tuned. If you haven’t already signed up for our newsletter, you can do so on the sidebar here.

Thanks for everyone’s support! We are growing, and books are selling, and our community is part of why that is happening—we are grateful for the outpouring of support we have received!

“The more we work together as readers, writers, artists, thinkers, activists—the more effectively we will succeed in broadening everyone’s awareness of our shared challenges and the ways we can work to address them. With the Tar Sands pipeline proposal at a critical point of decision, now is the time to make our voices heard and to lend strength to those who are fighting to protect our planet and all the life that it nourishes.”

In today’s world of social media and online transactions, GWP remembers that your head and your heart need nourishment from the natural world. With that credo, GWP seeks to bring the beauty of the published book as a tactile object into the homes and hands of readers, while also embracing the technology of tablet and eBook publishing—Please note, you can buy our books as eBooks, and do so through your local bookstore! It is as easy as 1-2-3! Here is an example:

You want to read GWP author, Leland Kinsey’s new book, but you want to read it on your iPad or Kindle. Go to the website of your local bookstore (Phoenix Books will be our example!), and click on the eBook link, or search the store’s website for eBooks, and then click and “add to cart.”
