Coral Press is a small, New York City-based independent publisher of musical fiction. Founded in 2001 by Robert Dunn, it includes author clientele and deals solely in books of musical fiction. Coral Press has been written up in Publishers Weekly as the preeminent publisher of musical fiction, and it has made efforts to create a new musical genre called, "mus-fi." The books are distributed by Thomson Shore Distribution.

In 2011, Coral Press established Coral Press Arts, to publish photo-books. The first book was Robert Dunn's OWS, about Occupy Wall Street. Photos from that book were in an International Center of Photography show in 2012. Later books include Dunn's ongoing series exploring the zone between the real and the imagined, Angel Parade #1 and #2, and Angel Parade #3 and #4. David Fratkin's WHYDON'TYOUBEMYF*CKINGVALENTINE came out in 2012, as well as Dunn's Meeting Robert Frank. All Coral Press Arts photo-books are in the permanent collection of the International Center of Photography library.[4]
Coral Press, blending writing and music, is also an innovator in transmedia storytelling. The book trailer for its novel Meet the Annas is the Squidoo example book trailer. A project is under way to produce an album of recordings celebrating Dyson Burnette, the singer-songwriter at the heart of the novel Stations of the Cross.
