Cune Press

Cune Press was founded in May, 1994, to explore innovative ways of bringing superior writing to public attention. We are a press. Our name is derived from “cunieform.” (In Latin cuni means “wedge.”)
In the ancient Near East the development of cuneiform script—simpler and more adaptable than hieroglyphics— enabled a large class of merchants and landowners to become literate. Clay tablets inscribed with wedged-shaped stylus marks made possible a broad intermeshing of individual efforts in trade and commerce. Cuneiform allowed scholarship to exist, art to flower, and created what some commentators define as the world's first civilization. When the Phoenicians developed their sound-based alphabet, they expressed it in cuneiform.
The idea of Cune is the democratization of learning, the faith that rarefied ideas—pulled from their pedestals and displayed in the streets—can transform the lives of ordinary people. And it is the conviction that ordinary people, trusted with the most precious gifts of civilization, will give our culture elasticity and depth—a necessity if we are to survive in a time of rapid change.
Cune is conducting several pilot projects and invites public participation.
