ABOUT THE PUBLISHER

A little bit about the publisher/editor: Toni Bennett has been active in writing, editing, and writing education as well as taking pictures for over 30 years. She received her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington in Seattle and recently completed a B.A. in Italian. She started writing in 1975 and, after writing magazine articles, booklets, teaching and tutoring English, and working for a time as a news correspondent, she decided to indulge her concurrent love of photography. She completed a certificate course in photography at the University of Washington and is currently concentrating her own artistic efforts on photography. She started this press as a place to practice her own craft, help disseminate the work of some of her fellow artists, and as a way to join the worldwide artistic community.
