With support from the California Arts Council, Catamaran Literary Reader will publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and fine art images from poets, authors, and artists of all ages, races, classes in a literary and fine arts journal. Our journal is distributed both regionally and statewide, and our public programs for live readings, workshops, and events are held both regionally and statewide through literary events and arts educational courses open to the public.
The vision of our nonprofit is to publish Catamaran, a quality literary and fine arts journal, to
discover and preserve in an enduring format the best literary and artistic work of our
times, and to educate the public through related literary and artistic educational programs.
• Publishing a healthy mix of debut, emerging, and established poets, creative writers, and artists
with consistent curatorial standards.
• Honor diversity by seeking contributions from a variety of cultural and ethnic voices and women.
• A functioning environmentally based purpose to publish science and nature related writing and art to
celebrate our beaches, parks, agricultural areas, and natural resources through creative work.
• A thriving public presence offering a variety of opportunities for community participation to include
print publications, online digital publications, and engagement through social media.
• Seek opportunities to expand through related costs centers and collateral products.
