MOONLIGHT MESA ASSOCIATES
Western
Book Publisher
Moonlight Mesa Associates is a small, independent publishing company
formed in 2006. After a series of successful private publications, the directors of MMA have decided to expand the
company's publishing schedule to include up to four books per calendar year. The company will specialize
in Western fiction and nonfiction only at this time...as in "Cowboy Up" westerns! Darn Tootin'!
Before
You Submit
Before you contact us, there are a few things we'd like you to know about us
and how we'd like to do business. If you don't agree with these basic ideas, then don't bother to submit your material.
Our code of ethics is drawn directly from James P. Owens' Cowboy Ethics. If you're not familiar with
this work, perhaps it would be worth your while to check it out. If Owens believes that Wall Street can learn ethics from
the "Code of the West," then maybe we can all learn something from this code. In short, we adhere to these basic
principles:
1. Live Each Day With Courage
2. Take Pride
in Your Work
3. Always Finish What You Start
4. Do
What Has to be Done
5. Be Tough, But Fair
6. When
You Make a Promise, Keep It
7. Ride for the Brand
8.
Talk Less and Say More
9. Remember That Some Things Aren't for Sale
