A scrappy small publisher, Anamcara Press has a scrappy, small team! In addition to producing compelling books by folks with powerful voices, we also distribute a journal, The Write Bridge, and urge readers to “mind the gap.”

Assistant Editor and Publicist, Amber Fraley is your typical Gen Xer suburban Kansas wife and mom of one who grew up a book nerd in a dysfunctional family and now writes about those experiences as hilarious therapy. She’s the author of the darkly humorous essay collection “From Kansas, Not Dorothy,” and the viral essay “Gen X Will Not Go Quietly,” as well as numerous human interest articles. Amber loves Kansas with all her heart, is frequently awkward in public, and desperately wishes to see a tornado and live to tell the tale.
