Santa Fe Writers Project
The Santa Fe Writers Project is an American independent press. Founded in 1998 by Andrew Gifford, it began as a small effort supported by writers and arts advocates. Today, Gifford continues to direct the press. SFWP hosts a literary awards program and an online journal.
In addition to publishing literary fiction, and creative non-fiction, the press also reprints out-of-print books of literary merit or social value.
While the press is largely operated from Bethesda, Maryland it was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The earliest titles were funded personally by Gifford's savings, often resulting in a loss.
With over 60 titles in print, the press publishes around four to six titles a year.
