HERITAGE SPECIAL EDITION

Preserving our heritage means honoring individual lives, experiences, and relationships. It means celebrating the joys and treasured memories, as well as passing down the hard-earned lessons and struggles. Sharing our histories is a powerful tradition that strengthens families and creates community in our lives. The American Literary Press Heritage Special Edition is a new imprint created specificially for these books that continue the wonderful tradition of passing on personal and/or family stories to future generations--because it is through magical books such as these that we learn about our family members, hear philosophies of life, glean wisdom and experience from those who have more of both than we do, and gain a sense of belonging to a group and heritage larger than ourselves.

"The editing was light but thoroughly professional. The schedule was always on or ahead of what was promised. The book design was good, and you were highly consultive in the process. The marketing was good. The financial arrangements were excellent. On several occasions, minor changes from our contract agreement could have resulted in overcharges, but these were never mentioned. Personal relations were always candid and pleasant."
