Saint Julian Press
Saint Julian Press is a new nonprofit imprint whose mission is to identify, nurture, and publish transformative literature and art by encouraging the work of emerging, established, and world-renowned writers, poets, and artists. In our vision we seek to build a world community by embracing and engaging in a global literary and artistic dialogue that promotes world peace, cultural conversations, and an interfaith awareness, appreciation, and acceptance.
Our Inspiration
Our inspiration is Julian of Norwich, the 14th Century English mystic and anchoress, who scholars believe was the first woman to write a book in the English language. Her major work, the Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love, touches at the heart of our mission as a new publishing house. Our hope is to publish transformative literature and art that symbolizes a radical openness to the literary and visual arts, cultures, and faiths across humanity. With such a vision Saint Julian Press dreams of opening far and wide the doors to a cultural dialogue. And to building an inclusive community that cultivates a meaningful and transforming conversation, one, which will cross cultural boundaries, secular societies, and encourages an interfaith exchange. Saint Julian Press is answering a call in the deepest sense of that word, for words and artistic expressions, we are in this endeavor for the pure pleasure of art, writing, and books that will help to transform the world, our world. | Our Direction
Saint Julian Press is just beginning, planting the first seeds. We still have a ways to go. Our idea is to focus on books and to utilize the newest print-on-demand and digital technology in partnership with a printing company that offers these services, like FriesenPress or Ingram Book Company. Our dream is to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible to publish new books by using the latest technology, to approach this model with a radical openness to new, diverse, and known literary voices. Voices, both new and known, who we believe need to be heard and treasured. Ultimately, our wish is to give back to authors and artists the maximum possible gain for their work. And to help them share their good works with the world. Our sincere hope, as we approach and develop this new publishing model as a nonprofit, is to publish several books a year by emerging and established writers and artists. |
