A History of a Small Press’s Publishing in the Midwest |
Till then, we have this to document 25 years of publishing and 130
books.
We are a not-for-profit, independent, literary publisher.
Many people make this work happen for others: editors, artists, layout
designers, and about 1000 writers.
We have received support from the Ohio Arts Council for many of these
projects. ]
