I'm a small press

Personified, a small press is inherently lazy like me, a person who latches on to projects and won't let them go until they've gone their own way, which is the way they're meant to go, which is as good as all of us who are involved in the making of the project can make them be.

The phrase, small press, delights me, as it should every one of us, presuming as it does the existence of intelligent writers and readers interested in seeking out the extraordinary, realizing how rare the extraordinary is.

The smaller the press the better, so small that the book a small press publishes might have been made by one writer for one reader.

But this is the ideal; it's enough that a small press can publish independently the independent work of talented, skilled men and women whose work deserves to the published.

And what fun publishing such is book is, from beginning to end! It's all quite alchemical--the transformation of original material into an object--the book--that could only have been that book, so that the writer, editor, designer, printer, and publisher become one.

So you see there's really nothing small about a small press. A small press is a small press is a small press.
