Street Noise Books was founded by Liz Frances, stating, "For the past fifteen years, I have worked as an art director and book designer in the big publishing houses of New York City. I've enjoyed collaborating with many gifted writers, illustrators, graphic artists and editors. In the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, I have become passionately driven to advocate for the power of love and compassion in the face of hate and oppression. I am creating Street Noise Books to provide a platform from which truth can be told, a place to share our stories, to foster community, and a means to build a future where all people are free and respected."
