Supportive Publishing
Sun Literary has supported and served as advisor to the following literary publications and nonprofits.
A Room of Her Own Foundation
In 2020, A Room of Her Own celebrated its twentieth anniversary of advocacy of women's voices worldwide.
UNUM
A global magazine dedicated to highlighting and celebrating women, of diverse backgrounds, by sharing their personal stories and achievements.
Read Your World
Read Your World celebrates diverse children's books, supports authors and illustrators, and generously provides these books for readers, families, and classrooms every year.
Accessibility
Nearly 1 in 5 people in the U.S. identify as living with a disability (ADA, US Census) and the numbers increase globally; but this representation is unique in that it is marginalized in both accessibility to narratives and representation in those narratives.
Sun Literary has certified accessibility specialists on our team, and can provide Own Voice expert consultation for making your narratives, website, content and platforms both representative of and accessible to Communities of Disability.
Sun Literary's leadership embodies representation in this vast community and is a member of the Diversability Leadership Collective. If you would like to offer suggestions or request accessibility consultation: Contact Us.
Translation and Translanguaging Services
In need of translation or translanguaging services? Sun Lit recommends Translata. Ask for Gina.
Web3
Looking forward, Sun Literary supports holistic information literacy and decentralized movements towards privacy, information trust, and autonomy. Exciting developments are happening in the Web3+ sectors and we're proud to be collaborating with women-led agencies.
On assignment with American Cowboy some years ago for a conservation article featuring Tejon Ranch in California, my son and I rode to the top of the Tehachapi Range with local vaqueros. Here lived the Kitanemuk People, whose descendants today are enrolled in the Tejon Indian Tribe of California. Sun Lit supports returning ancestral lands to tribal stewardship.
