If you're a small literary press (or on your way to becoming one), we'd love to help out--just as we've been helped out by presses who came before us.
Each year, we offer a number of consultations with emerging presses as a way to share our experiences and resources to help them move forward in the literary world.
Initial consultations are 30+ minutes, and if we're able to help more, we'd be excited to continue on as a resource as you move forward with your project.
Please submit your consultation submission and we'll hope to be in touch soon!
