Is EPN making huge money you ask? No. It’s a contribution and a passion. Ever since launching and running the New England Publishers Association in 1998, I’ve been giving to the author community to show support for the independent press industry. EPN was developed to demonstrate that continued support.

My warmest to all, David K. Ewen, M.Ed. Ewen Prime Company
