Tendril Press, LLC, established in 2004, began as a joint venture between A.J. Images, Inc., and CB Resources, LLC. Our vision: Publish works that change the way we teach ethics, inspire integrity, support spirituality and honor global diversity. During the five ensuing years, we have grown into a corporate team of dedicated publishing and business professionals committed to high quality, thought provoking, inspirational, educational and humanitarian works for both adults and children. We chose our name to symbolize our publishing venture, which is strong, yet flexible, supportive of our select authors and well connected to the changing needs of our market.
Tendril Press is a premier publisher of high contribution works that address humanity's most pressing social issues and appeal to a growing readership. Our mission is to add value and resources to the world one book at a time by touching the hearts and minds of our readers. We commit to our readers, booksellers and reviewers that every Tendril Press publication is an invitation to enjoy the rare pleasure of a beautiful book — one abundant with valuable information, fascinating perspectives and a memorable reading experience.
Lineage
Foremost, Tendril Press is editorially driven. We have rapidly earned our reputation for providing real support to the most gifted, knowledgeable, up-and-coming authors as we develop and strengthen equally supportive relationships with booksellers across the country.
Tendril Press publishes books of merit. Praised by reviewers and honored by prize committees, our books have been honored with two Nautilus Awards, seven USA Book News Best Book Awards, a Best Beach Book Award, the People's Choice Award and many others.
At the Five-Year Mark
As we reflect upon our upcoming fifth anniversary, we are proud of our achievements. Although 2009 was uncertain for publishing overall, it was a very good year for Tendril Press and our authors. Despite mainstream publishing woes, we see promise for independent presses who serve authors, readers and the industry with a cooperative publishing attitude and model. Our successes thus far stand as testaments to a market hungry for the quality Tendril Press provides. The non-stop glowing reviews and kudos we receive are proof positive that we are doing the right things at the right time.
