we find healing
in existing reality

Plain View Press is a 30-year-old issue-based literary publishing house. We have published 150 titles and more than 300 writers from many countries.

Our books result from artistic collaboration between writers, artists and editors. Over the years we have become a far-flung community of activists whose energies bring humanitarian enlightenment and hope to individuals and communities grappling with the major issues of our time -- peace, justice, the environment, education and gender. This is a humane and highly creative group of people committed to art and social change.

The poems, stories, essays, non-fiction explorations of major issues are significant evidence that despite the relentless violence of our time, there is hope and there is art to show the human face of it.

We solicit and select work for publication and invite dialogue on the issues of our time. Contact us at:
