We were interviewed by the Union Democrat, and they posted this video online.

Here is a link to an introduction to Manzanita Writers Press publishing opportunities.

We’re baaaccckkkk…..! In Angels Camp, that is. Here is Manzanita Writers Press and Emporium in our new space as a bookstore inside the Raven’s Basket in downtown historic Angels Camp, located at 1199 South Main Street. Check out the healthy and friendly succulents and plants galore. You should read to your plants. They like it. We have books that they would like. Come by and see what’s in store.

We are listed as #8 in top ten places to visit in Angels Camp by Trip.com!
