Book Publishers Directory
Social distancing is turning into our new reality. Keep yourself productive and sane during this time by journalling, creating, reading and learning. Take the time to start a new book, or read through that pile of novels on your nightstand. Write a poem, a short story, an essay or a book. Aim high and check out the contests we have listed at PublishersArchive.com when you're done. Be good to yourself and your neighbours, and know that we'll get through this.
