Guiding story projects from concept to publication. For over a decade, Sun Lit has shepherded multiple projects at various stages of concept and narrative development to award-winning publication.
On Working Together
"The medium for the soul, it seems, must be the message ... remembering what is most important in the order of priorities and what place we occupy in a much greater story than the one our job description defines ... Whatever we choose to do, the stakes are very high. With a little more care, a little more courage, and, above all, a little more soul, our lives can be so easily discovered and celebrated in work."
- David Whyte, The Heart Aroused

Supportive Publishing
Sun Literary has supported and served as advisor to the following literary publications and nonprofits.
A Room of Her Own Foundation
The AROHO story is not about any one woman; it’s a story about all of us — our origins, our works of art, and how we make room for each other.
In 2020, A Room of Her Own celebrated its twentieth anniversary of nonprofit 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'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.
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.
