Moon Willow Press is a start-up Canadian editor and publisher, offering two services in North America:

• Editing and Proofreading: For more than just books. Moon Willow editorial has extensive experience and offers affordable rates for quality proofreading, light and heavy copy-editing, web editing and development, substantive content editing, and technical writing.  MWP is unique in that during the new start-up stage of business, we will honor client rates instead of setting our own. MWP will also periodically use a portion of its profits to support non-profit sustainable forestry organizations.

• Book Publishing: New publisher following the Green Press Initiative model. Moon Willow will use only recycled and FSC-certified fiber, offer e-book alternatives, and print on-demand runs. Moon Willow Press’s focus is on non-fiction books related to climate change, sustainable living, ecosystem preservation, and other environmental issues. We will also publish up to 30% fiction and poetry on similar topic.

Moon Willow’s first e-book, The Little Big Town, is a fictional account of a young girl’s trials when moving from a big city to a small rural town on the banks of the Wolf River in Wisconsin. 25% of the first 100 sales of this $4.00 book will go toward Eco-Libris: Plant a tree for every book you read. This means that 100 trees will be planted when 100 books are sold.

Eco-Libris’ planting partners include Sustainable Harvest International (SHI), Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama;  RIPPLE Africa (a non-profit organization involved with environmental projects, education, and health care in Malawi, Africa); and the Alliance for International Reforestation (AIR), Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Each of these partners works with areas in the world suffering from deforestation. Eco-Libris’ tree-planting program provides a valued source of sustainable economical and ecological aid to these areas.
