Thank you very much for considering our group of five Bay Area writers who have books of short fiction and poetry published with Unsolicited Press (https://www.unsolicitedpress.com), a vibrant, cutting-edge, and women-owned and operated independent press based out of Portland, Oregon. We are also widely published in literary journals and have strong ties with Bay Area writing organizations and readings. We love engaging with audiences about our work, publishing, and writing in general. One of us lives in the North Bay, and one of us is a third generation Bay Area resident whose writing sample takes place in Sonoma. The others of us live in the East Bay and Pacifica.
