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publication of Rio San Pedro, a book chosen mainly because of the unusual story it told, and the promise shown by its unpublished writer, Henry Hollenbaugh. This has now been followed by Island Journeys, Exploring the Legacy of France,  by Patti M. Marxsen, which was released in mid-March of 2008,  The Other Face of Murder, by doctor-writer Gil Porat,  The Canyon Chronicles, by K. Gray Jones, and now, Nessus the Centaur,  by Henry Hollenbaugh (author of Rio San Pedro). This modest list will soon be expanded with one or more of several works that are presently under consideration.  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. Possibly we ourselves do not know what we want. But we will certainly recognize an outstanding work when we see it.  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Alondra Press is studying the possibility of instituting a contest for writers, published or unpublished, sometime this year, with publication of the winning work as the prize.  Keep your eye on this website for the rules and details.

OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE ALONDRA PRESS IMPRINT ONE THAT WILL EVOKE AN IMAGE OF BOOKS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.
