Dear Peaceful Reader:
Welcome to Whitepoint Press which is located here virtually and in San Pedro, California, in a more concrete way. Our goal is to publish fiction and poetry that take risks. I started Whitepoint Press because writing can influence social change, and I began this enterprise by publishing my own books. There’s a precedent for what I’m doing; Lawrence Ferlinghetti launched City Lights Publishers in 1955 with his own book of poetry, and City Lights is still thriving. Whitepoint Press is joining this tradition of progressive California publishing.
Take care,
Lisa De Niscia
Founder & CEO
