Recent News About Gender and Publishing

Dear Paris Press Friends,

Thank you for your extraordinary support during our Midnight Match fundraiser. In one day, you helped Paris Press raise $5,700 -- surpassing our goal! And now the Press's Board of Directors is matching your donations. We welcome your continued support of daring and beautiful literature by women writers. Your generosity is overwhelming.

Laura Miller's article in Salon, about the ongoing lack of gender equality in publishing, affirms Paris Press's mission. Our devotion to publishing ground-breaking literature by women that has been overlooked by independent and commercial publishers remains (unfortunately) as essential as it was when the Press was founded, 15 years ago.

I hope you will find the Salon article and the studies mentioned by Laura Miller of interest.

And -- if you are searching for meaningful Valentine's Day gifts -- please visit our website. SISTERS, OPEN ME CAREFULLY, TELL ME ANOTHER MORNING, in fact the full Paris Press list -- and new tee shirts -- are perfect expressions of love to readers of both genders, from teens to seniors.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With immense gratitude,
Jan

Jan Freeman, Director
