Sun Cooper leads Sun Literary with twenty years of experience as an accomplished writer, editor, project manager, and publishing consultant for print and digital communications.

From her inherited great-grandmother's desk to traveling across the West in an Airstream, Sun grew a nomadic studio into an editorial & communications agency collaborating with Big Five publishers, nonprofits, and philanthropic literary organizations worldwide. 

At ease with projects small and big, Sun has worn many hats in building trust and brightening connections across multiple terrains of story, experience, culture and expertise. She co-founded the SunLit + DIVE with Karina Puente Arts to facilitate a women's writing series rooted in creativity and shared progress. With a unique intersection of experience in both the literary and nonprofit world, she has guided communications project development for Big Five Publishers, authors, and agencies.

Her own projects have been featured in American Cowboy, WAVES: A Confluence of Women's Voices, National Geographic, Southern Writers and more. Read the HER JOURNEY Series here in partnership with UNUM Magazine.

Edited projects include work for writers new and established - such as Diane Gilliam, author of Kettle Bottom; Shonda Buchanan, author of Black Indian; Aric S. Queen, author of Nat Geo's The Good Traveler series; Kate Oliver, author of The Modern Caravan; Melissa Coss Aquino, author of Carmen and Grace; and Maxine Hong Kingston, author of The Woman Warrior and Waves Returning.

Sun was named AROHO's 2015 Blackbird Fellow, led its TIDES coalition, and serves on the advisory board for Read Your World.
