SUNPIPER PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
What a NOVEL idea!

If you’ve been with Sunpiper Press since its inception in September of 2004, I hope that we have delivered on the promise of “introducing you to poets that slam the mic like Shaq… and bringing you authors that will question everything that you have thought.” If you have enjoyed it, never fear, we don’t plan to stop now, nevertheless, we thought we’d throw a little “spin” in the mix.

Beginning January 2005, Sunpiper Press will not only be the place for new and emerging writers to share their work, but a place for novelist and non-fiction writers to showcase theirs as well.

Sunpiper Press will be bringing in a fresh new year by bringing you novelist, both self-published and established, so you can see what they are all about and how they got from “wannabe” in print to “seeing it” in print. Sunpiper Press does not believe good literary works and great authors only come from the publishing houses in New York, but from small presses, independent publishers and yes, self-publishers, who choose to invest in themselves to share the passion that flows from their soul, as well.

So, in January, come back and visit SP’s “Authors’ Corner”. There will be excerpts, interviews and book reviews of some wonderful, yet not always heard of authors. You might be surprised at the wonderful creations that you aren’t able to get your hands on at Barnes & Noble®.



"Although Sunpiper Press believes firmly in allowing ALL people to share their points of view, popular or otherwise, opinions expressed in contributed articles, essays, poetry and stories are not necessarily those of Sunpiper Press. The only opinions strictly supported by Sunpiper Press are firmly expressed in the commentaries of the Sunpiper Press editors."
