Two poems by will erickson 🦥🐧, from hex.

We always have and always will cover small press books. We never have and never will bend our editorial calendar to release cycles. We have never been able to afford timeliness but we can always afford to take our time. Books don’t disappear. We are always open for pitches.

Hi, book friends. I found the list of publishers distributed by Small Press Distribution (SPD) as of the end of January 2024 on the Wayback Machine. I created a spreadsheet with links I could find quickly. It's a work in progress but I hope this is of use. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

We'll be announcing some open meetings for small presses next week who want to join and ask questions. In the meantime the skinny:

- We handle bookstore, library, and direct-to-consumer sales (including international!)
- We take 24% of the sale price
- No fees

a while back I edited this essential dialogue about the infrastructure of small press publishing for Chicago Review. thanks to SPD throwing in the towel it is heartbreakingly timely

Gutted to hear that a lot of presses have been left in the lurch today. Publishers can apply to join Asterism (and read more about our terms) here: asterismbooks.com/for-publishers

We'll do our best to expedite things if we think you're a fit!

Subscribing is both tactical and practical.
