ripples publishing
Welcome to the new ripples publishing website.
So far, ripples publishing is an idea and this website provides information on what ripples can become.
The content is primarily for people who are considering to support ripples publishing or who consider becoming part of it. And so far the information is a collection of notes and not complete. Not least, because the shaping process for the project should be done in a team. And quite a bit of deeper digger can be found on the related book stations website.
Please, get in touch, if you would like to get involved or if you have questions. Write to: contact@ripples-publishing.com
I look forward to hearing from you, Charlie Alice Raya

ripples books & pepper books
Potentially there will be two publishers, both international but with different work foci.
ripples books are, or have the potential, for collaborative works.
pepper books will represent individual works.
book stations network
Both ripples publishing and pepper books would be part of the book stations network and of the bespoke books network.
The book stations are an idea which I developed in 2022 and which is based on the ideas for Hub Stations and dot.stations which originate in the easy town story.
The idea is presented in some detail on the book stations website and includes the ideas for the bespoke books network.
In short
Ripples books publishing & pepper books publishing will be the in-house publishers for the book stations network and will cooperate with the bespoke books network.
