“I commend Bywater Books for giving a platform to writers whose voices are too often ignored by a literary establishment that gives lip service to diversity but rarely practices what it preaches. I’m honored and thrilled to be part of this project.” Nava continues, “Amble Press will celebrate and amplify our community’s diverse voices, and the unique and compelling stories they have to tell. As the forces of reaction are empowered at the highest levels of society, the arrival of Amble Press could not be more timely and more necessary. Amble Press is committed to publishing books that are bold, entertaining, and of enduring value.”
Salem West, Publisher of Bywater Books, says, “This is the right time to launch this important imprint, and Michael Nava is absolutely the perfect person to lead the way. Amble Press will continue Bywater Books’ strong tradition of publishing a vibrant range of thinkers and writers.”
Bywater Books, Inc. is dedicated to excellence in publishing. Launched in 2004 as a feminist and lesbian press, Bywater Books and its Amble Press imprint are committed to publishing the best of contemporary queer writing for all readers.
