White City Press

-
 Full details  Arequipa, Peru is also known as “The White City,” due to its buildings made from gleaming white stone. It’s a city that’s a celebration of ancient Peru and contemporary life combined into one city. During the day, Arequipa shines bright in the sunlight. After dark, the narrow (and, often, cobblestone) streets of the city are mysterious and intriguing. Tiny shops are tucked away in narrow alleys. Theaters exist through massive wooden doors but buried in the depths of hillsides. It’s a city of intrigue and history. White City Press endeavors to capture that same feeling of history/nostalgia while also bringing forth titles of contemporary design. Our special sub-imprint,  Sandra Murphy Presents , exists to help shine the light on unpublished or underpublished authors of extraordinary talent that deserve to be seen and read. We are not interested in publishing lots and lots of material. We’re interested in publishing the  right material. St...
