A Moment of Transition, a Year of Celebration
In 2026, we are celebrating 40 years of publishing as Parallax Press. We are also excited to welcome Matt Friberg as our new Publisher. Having served as Senior Editor on many Parallax titles, Matt’s work is deeply rooted in our community. At the same time, Hisae Matsuda is moving from the role of Publisher to Senior Editor, continuing to offer her guidance, wisdom, and steady attention to every page. We are grateful for this moment of continuation and renewal. (2/22/26)
Our relationship with AI
We are aware of the swiftly changing presence of AI in the publishing industry and within our global society. We are reflecting on the ways AI is inserted into our working structures with and without our consent. We are taking time to consult the mindfulness trainings and decide if and when AI can be used as a tool in right livelihood. We want to be sure our contributions to the world are aligned with our core mission as a nonprofit publisher. (1/13/26)
