We are a new Vermont-based, global publisher that seeks to change the way books are printed by using only post-consumer waste paper and not virgin timber. All the books published by Green Writers Press will be printed in Vermont by a family-owned business. The term ‘locavore’ applies to the publisher’s mission, which is also to publish books, eBooks, and audio books that will spread a message of hope and renewal. We strive to build awareness to stop global warming. It is our mission, at Green Writers Press, to spread a message of environmental activism through the words and images we will publish. We also plan to publish books that segue with our mission that will also include other subjects that speak to the quality of life and the beauty of nature. Printing on demand (POD), and using only “tree-free” papers printed at our Vermont printer, Springfield Printing Corporation, we will adhere to GWP’s commitment to preserving and protecting the natural resources of the earth. To that end, a percentage of our proceeds will be donated to the environmental activist group, 350.org. We will also give a percentage of our profits directly to Vermont-based environmental organizations and other groups. Our vision is that, collectively, our printed and eBooks will become a chorus of voices of writers and readers, artists and photographers, who care about the fate of the earth and want to do something about it. Though we believe our books will be interesting to Vermont residents, Green Writers Press has national distribution and we hope to have a broad reach and impact. In today’s world of social media and online transactions, here are GWP, we remember that your head and your heart need nourishment from the natural world. With that as our credo, we embark on a journey to bring the beauty of the published book as a tactile object, into the homes and hands of our readers, and we also embrace the technology of tablet and eBook publishing.
