WHAT WE DO:
NOLAFugees Press|Productions LLC is an independent digital media and content development group based in New Orleans. We are dedicated to providing engaging digital content and creative commercial projects for a diverse group of writers, performers, and media production professionals.
WHY WE DO IT:
We produce content because we believe the subjects we cover deserve attention; we partner with companies, organizations, and individuals to develop events, programming, and new media that encourages people to think and to experience, not just to respond. We are not a branding studio, a spin or a vanity house. We are independent, and we ask difficult questions.
Please see our Digital Media Projects for more information.
OUR HISTORY:
NOLAFugees Press|Productions began publishing content in November, 2005 as a response to what we considered the gross inaccuracies of local, national, and international media coverage in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. From 2005-2010 our website, NOLAFugees.com, mixed investigative journalism, first-person reportage, political analysis, and vicious satire to develop an alternate chronicle of Reconstruction New Orleans–with its uneasy race relations, its shadowy visionaries, its struggling citizens– as a city of profound uncertainty.
Over five years, we published over one hundred writers and collected the content from NOLAFugees.com in two non-fiction anthologies (Year Zero, 2006 and Soul is Bulletproof, 2008) and published the first collection of post-Katrina short fiction, Life in the Wake (2007). Since, we’ve published novels by two of our authors: Sarah Inman’s The Least Resistance (2010) and Andrea Boll’s The Parade Goes on Without You (2009).
