Why is Heyday important? How is Heyday different?

Heyday has maintained its zest and passion for independent publishing since it was created in 1974. It specializes in books on California and the West— and within this niche, our range is enormous. We work with many of the major institutions in the state, but we have also worked on a smaller scale, for example, producing a bilingual book in English and Karuk, a supple, expressive native Indian language from the upper Klamath River that has fewer than a dozen speakers today. We have put out the first published works of previously unknown poets while at the same time worked with established writers like Gary Snyder and Ursula K. Le Guin

Why does Heyday need my help? What will my money support?

In 2004, Heyday Books became a nonprofit institution, and like many nonprofit cultural organizations, we find that our earned income isn’t quite sufficient to fund all the books we plan to put out and would like to put out. We are thus soliciting your generous support to:

• Produce important and daring books that need to, and deserve to, be seen and heard
• Shape California’s literary legacy, publishing works that capture the spirit of each generation and preserve it for the next
• Support our publications with an array of educational outreach programs at libraries, museums, schools, and community centers
• Expand and deepen our unique list of publications

What are the benefits of being a Friend of Heyday?

All donors, at any level, will receive:

• Mailings of catalogs and biannual newsletter
