 Greenpoint
Press was established in 2004 as the publishing arm
of the webzine, Ducts.org. Now, as a result of the 2007 merger
between Ducts and the New York Writers Workshop, we are part
of New York Writers Resources. Our aim is to publish high-quality fiction and
nonfiction that might otherwise be neglected by commercial
publishers, with an emphasis on "personal stories"
with a strong narrative and distinctive voice. |

 New
York Writers Workshop is the teaching division
of New York Writers Resources. We provide instruction in all
forms of written expression, from the song to the sonnet,
from the novel to the newspaper article. Working, published,
professional writers conduct our workshops, consultations,
conferences, and mentoring arrangements. We strive to help
writers at all stages of their development to reach their
full potential.

 Ducts.org
is a New York-based webzine devoted to publishing engaging personal
essays, memoirs, art, fiction, poetry, humor and more. The webzine
features emerging and under-recognized writers and artists alongside
more established contributors. The unique on-line format encourages
a fresh approach to selecting work, allowing for a wider range
of personal voices and a more daring array of projects. Ducts
has been on the Web since 1999 and its readership continues
to grow. Ducts also sponsors a monthly reading series called
Trumpet
Fiction, which is held the second Saturday of every month
at KGB Bar in the East Village of New York City. At each evening
of Trumpet Fiction Ducts.org
presents three outstanding writers. Featured writers have included
Jonathan Ames, Alice Elliot Dark and others. Subscribe
