C&R Press

C&R Press Conscious and Responsible | We Love Books | Long Live Books We love books. Today, C&R Press is taking that classic communication and pushing into new media.

Literature matters in today’s world because it lets us explore and share the best of what we think, and who we can be. Good fiction, nonfiction and poetry grow understanding and imagination, take us into new lives and show us truths we never knew. For thousands of years, the written word and storytelling has been mankind's primary form of multigenerational communication. So we’re looking for talen

ted authors and poets – both new and established – whose work we help refine, support, publish and promote. And, through their works, we’re looking to grow the reading public’s love of reading, writing, crafting and dreaming. Let other people say that books are dead, that their time is past. Since 2006 we’ve been helping writers and readers prove that idea wrong – and we’re just getting started. Long live books.
