Angel City Press in Santa Monica and CaliforniaAuthors.com collaborated to produce an anthology of essays about California to benefit the budget-starved state arts council. All of the pieces in My California: Journeys by Great Writers, as well as the editing, design and printing, are donated. The book is to be published in June but there is now a website up, designed by Kate Cohen, co-founder and creative director of CaliforniaAuthors.com.

Contributors to the anthology include Michael Chabon, Pico Iyer, Dana Gioia, David Kipen, Carolyn See, T. Jefferson Parker and many others. Full list and backgrounds.
