Greenpoint Press

Greenpoint Press is an independent, not-for-profit publishing house based in New York City. It was founded in 2004 as the book-publishing arm of the webzine Ducts.org. When Ducts merged in 2007 with the New York Writers Workshop, Greenpoint Press became part of the parent organization New York Writers Resources. The Press' stated mission is "to publish high-quality non-fiction that might otherwise be neglected by commercial publishers, with an emphasis on 'personal stories' with a strong narrative and distinctive voice."

In 2009, Greenpoint Press enlarged its mission to include works of literary fiction. The first of these was the Shamus Award-nominated, Swann's Last Song. The second is Sloth by Mark Goldblatt.
