Gold Canyon Press is a small Arizona-based independent publishing company dedicated to the production of fiction and non-fiction books of quality that amplify human systems, culture, character and learning within the contemporary world.
The press was founded in 2008 by a small group of practitioners and thinkers who chose to collaborate on the development, production and distribution of thought-provoking works.Our goals are modest:to publish 3 - 5 books a year, that enrich and expand the quality and capacity of the independent author.
