A writer created Kitchen House Press with nothing but a concept in mind and a shoestring budget. She wanted it to be for orphan women writers who had not been able to find a home for their work. It also had to be eco-friendly, using a "green" printer. Recycled papers, vegetable and soy inks, and water-based glues are ways the press cares for the environment.
The symbol for the press is the kitchen house of Charleston. Separated from the main house, this small, often quirky, structure was a beehive of activity. Recipes for nourishing the family were tested and developed here among fresh farm produce and sacks of rice and flour. It is in this tradition that KHP stands separated from publishing giants setting its own trends and finding its own voice for the women writers who nourish their readers with a dash of adventure and intrigue or a pinch of mystery and romance. Always stirring the pot . . .
And after three years of planning, writing, rewriting, and reworking, KHP is pleased as punch to launch its first books!
