Welcome to glpr
In 1992, glpr began introducing progressive authors to thoughtful, well-informed media people and their audiences across the country. Today, more than 1,000 books later, glpr continues in that tradition, helping authors gain meaningful public attention for their work and participate in dialogue that makes for a more just and peaceful world.
glpr’s work
Most of the authors we represent write books that support movements for progressive social change. These include books about politics, peace, justice, anti-racism, environmental sustainability, human rights, feminism, progressive spirituality, criminal justice and other public policy topics. With that said, every once in a while Peter takes on a book simply because he finds it beautiful or just plain fun.
Our focus on radio
Because publishers tend to have good print review contacts and because television rarely offers the opportunity for a deep exploration of issues, we turn and return primarily to non-commercial public radio and a growing list of podcasts. They are, we believe, the best forums for a respectful exchange of ideas and the most effective media for sparking public discourse that might fuel social change.
