Santa Fe Writers Project

The Santa Fe Writers Project (commonly abbreviated as SFWP) was founded in 1998 by Andrew Gifford. It began as a small effort supported by writers and arts advocates, and has since grown into a well-known independent press. SFWP hosts an literary awards program and an online journal.[1]

In addition to publishing literary fiction, and creative non-fiction, the press also reprints out-of-print books of literary merit or social value.[2]

While the press is largely operated from Bethesda, Maryland it was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico where Gifford has family.[3] The earliest titles were funded personally by Gifford's savings, often resulting in a loss.[4]

Publishing

The press publishes around four to six titles a year, usually during the traditional spring and fall publishing seasons, and the catalog contains over fifty titles of many different genres.[5] The press has been recognized by The Guardian,[6] BuzzFeed Books,[7] and BookRiot,[8][9] The Millions[10] as a publisher of high-quality titles.
