ALONDRA PRESS, founded in 2007, by booklovers Kathleen Palmer and Solomon Tager,  initiated its activities during that year with the publication of Rio San Pedro, by Henry Hollenbaugh.

This has now been followed by Island Journeys, Exploring the Legacy of France,  by Patti M. Marxsen, The Other Face of Murder, by doctor-writer Gil Porat,  The Canyon Chronicles, by K. Gray Jones, Nessus the Centaur,  by Henry Hollenbaugh (author of Rio San Pedro), The Wind Thief, by Martha Engber, and now, perhaps heralding a new orientation for Alondra Press, Spinoza’s God, by Franklin Lonzo Dixon.  We will continue to look for new fiction titles, but with the publication of Spinoza’s God we hope to attract other authors of serious philosophical works. We do not have any specific guidelines in regard to the type of literature we are looking for. Our principal criterion is that the work be  well-written, and targeted for thoughtful and reflective  readers.  Our prospective authors who wish to get an idea of what we might like should first read one of our books.  

Alondra Press is studying the possibility of  instituting  a contest for  writers, published or unpublished, sometime in 2010, with publication of the winning work as the prize.  Keep your eye on this website for the rules and details.
