Our Core Beliefs about Publishing
From The Los Angeles Press 2020
Publishing is a noble art form
because good literature produces joy and inspiration
Publishing inspires artists to keep moving forward in pursuit of their dreams
Publishing an artists work helps them heal from trauma
because Publishing concretizes steps taken on a journey of memory and analysis
Publishing an artists journey creates a roadmap for others
Publishing is a benefit to the community
by manifesting steps towards recovery, reclamation, solidarity and/in diversity
Publishing a book can be a sacred act
because a book chronicles a path made by a human being to connect to self,
others, and the world
Publishing is a form of social justice
Publishing writers who have never been published or who have been under-
represented in Publishing changes the world and shifts power from
traditionally held regimes
Publishing helps people live to their highest frequency
Publishing is a direct retaliation against erasure

출판에 대한 우리의 신념입니다.
출판은 고귀한 예술 형태입니다
좋은 문학은 기쁨과 영감을 우리에게 선사하기 때문입니다.
출판은 예술가들이 더 꿈을 향해 앞으로 나갈 수 있도록 영감을 줍니다
예술가 작품의 출판은 외상을 치료하는데 도움이 됩니다.
출판은 기억과 분석의 여정을 구체화하기 때문 입니다.
예술가 작품을 통해 사람들은 자신의 새로운 길에 대한 영감을 갖고 만들어 봅니다.
또한 출판은 지역 사회에 이익이 됩니다
출판을 통해 우리는 회복되고, 진실을 알게되고, 서로에게 연대감을 갖고
서로의 다양성을 알고자 함께 노력하기 때문입니다.
책을 출판하는 것은 신성한 행위가 될 수 있습니다
책을 통하여 우리는 자기 자신, 다른 사람, 그리고 세계와 연결되기 때문입니다.
출판은 사회 정의의 한 형태입니다
그것은 출판된 적이 없거나 충분히 알려지지 않은 작가의 작품 또한 출판하기 때문입니다.
출판은 세상을 변화시키고 전통적으로 정권에서 힘을 이동시킵니다
출판은 사람들이 가장 높은 이상에서 살도록 도와줍니다
출판은 삭제에 대한 반대를 출판으로 보여 주는 것입니다.
