Atiswinic Press

Ojai, Calif.-based Atiswinic Press specializes in the publication of nature and family books. Founded in 2011, the company’s name comes from the Chumash word that translates literally as “dreamer” or “having a dream.” The Chumash were the first human inhabitants of Ojai (the city’s name also comes from the Chumash language) – and the company’s owner always has dreamed of living in Ojai and writing/publishing books that he enjoyed most. The company and its location are the fulfillment of his dream or vision. Love Letters to Sophie’s Mom marks the company’s first foray into poetry. The press also publishes the popular and critically acclaimed Hikes with Tykes hiking guidebooks. Several more family-oriented nature books are planned for release in the months ahead. Atiswinic Press currently is not accepting submissions or pitches for book ideas.
