The Santa Fe Writers Project (SFWP) was founded in 1998 by Andrew Gifford. It began as a small effort supported by writers and arts advocates, and has since grown into a well-known independent press. SFWP hosts a literary awards program which has been judged by Deesha Philyaw, and an online journal.[1]
In addition to publishing literary fiction, and creative non-fiction, the press also reprints out-of-print books of literary merit or social value.[2]
While the press is largely operated from Bethesda, Maryland it was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico where Gifford has family.[3] The earliest titles were funded personally by Gifford's savings, often resulting in a loss.[4]
