Kind Words from Clients
"I have known and worked with Sun Cooper in a variety of professional and artistic settings for close to a decade now. She brings a deep intelligence, consummate professionalism, and a unique blend of creativity and precision to all of her work. She is an extraordinary leader and facilitator at ease with projects big and small. She brings immense skill and insight to every challenge. From her writing to her coaching and editorial work, I have found all of my work improves under her expansive vision. I have also served on a board and completed projects under her guidance. I cannot say enough about the unique creative light Sun brings to all of her projects, and the strong center of 'get it done well' that keeps it all moving towards the best outcome! Momentum building with intelligent creative focus is a hallmark of her style." - Dr. Melissa Coss Aquino, professor of English at Bronx CUNY and published author

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, beautiful community, serves as a member of the Diversability Leadership Collective, and partners with We See Different. If you would like support or consultation: Contact Us.

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.
