Local authors' and visual artists' works -- book previews and e-books

Black Sparrow Books was the most notable local press, operating in Santa Rosa under the direction of John and Barbara Martin from 1996-2002, and responsible for promoting the poet Charles Bukowski, as well as Sonoma County authors David Bromige, Andrei Codrescu, and Sherril Jaffe. But numerous others also claim a Sonoma County address, if only to publish the works of their founders. Each profile includes contact information for owners/founders (if available), and authors published.

The Children's Book Project was a 2020-2021 school year creative writing project for 6th-8th graders at the Guerneville School in Guerneville, California, under the direction of English Language Arts teacher, Jessica Glentzer. The students worked on all aspects of book production, including creating stories inspired by a variety of sources; illustrations; and book layout.  The students narrated their books for the thirteen videos in this collection.
