Welcome to
Manzanita Writers Press!
Whether you are a writer, an avid reader, or are ready to publish your book, you've come to the right place. Manzanita Writers Press is a Publisher and a member of the Literary League of the nonprofit arts organization, the Calaveras County Arts Council. We bring writers, readers and artists together through workshops, anthologies, book publishing, referrals and events. We are a growing literary publisher in the Mother Lode region of California. Our location in the scenic, rural Sierra Nevada foothills of Calaveras County is inspirational to the many writers who reside here and in the surrounding rural counties.
Manzanita Writers Press has published 12 books, with several more planned for 2016. We have organized countless readings, workshop and events in the region and have held writing contests, and promoted the literary arts in Calaveras, Amador and Tuolumne Counties. Manzanita publishes works by regional writers and those with a connection to the Mother Lode. It also prints Manzanita: Poetry and Prose of the Mother Lode and Sierra, a series of literary publications. Our latest anthology, A Taste of Literary Elegance: Wine, Cheese and Chocolate, and our other publications are available for purchase on our website and through Amazon and Small Press Distribution in Berkeley, CA.
