Whitepoint Press Pizza

Whitepoint Press has an official pizza, and it's a vegan pizza.  Here it is:



Delicious!

Of course, the official vegan pizza is different every time it's created, depending upon which veggies are used. There's no fake cheese either.  Instead of cheese, I use a puree of great northern beans with olive oil and whatever herbs I'm in the mood for.  That gets smoothed on as the first layer. The sauteed veggies go on top of that and then into the oven it goes.

What does pizza have to do with publishing? Or good story telling? Or even reviewing indie books (which I've put on hold because of this new publishing venture)?  Nothing.  It's simply a way for me to start blogging again.  And so 2013 is the inaugural year for Whitepoint Press, and things are going very well.  Three books have been published with one to go in December.  Here they are in order of publication:












We're planning a fabulous 2014.  Oh, yes, submissions are still open, and we're looking for high quality literary fiction and poetry.  We like the stuff that mainstream, traditional New York publishers shy away from--the stuff that won't guarantee those gigantic corporations millions of bucks. We like the kind of writing that  requires readers to think. Yeah, think. We want that kind of risky writing, but risky writing can mean different things, besides the requirement of the reader needing to think. The risk may be the subject matter or the writing style or the language. In general, the entire category of poetry is risky because NY won't touch most of it, but high quality poetry is rare. Risky writing requires writers to know their craft. Risky writing isn't a formula. It isn't about pleasing everyone. If this sounds like your writing, please feel free to submit a writing sample to us.  Here's our submissions page: http://whitepointpress.com/submissions/

Have a great day!
