December 13, 2007 Updates:

I've finished printing & will soon finish binding a new book of poetry collaborations by Mathia Svalina & Julia Cohen titled "When We Broke the Microscope." The book also has seven origional illustrations by Cherie Weaver. It should be available on the site for sale in the remarkably near future.

Scott Piece's "Some Bridge Migrate" is sold out.

Small Fires Press will be sharing a table with Pilot books at AWP - please do visit & peruse.

Submissions for Matchbook are still sought after, while submissions for Chapbooks are closed (to everything except collaborations).

I'm interested in publishing graphic novel work to letterpress, but the the art would probably have to be one color. Email me with a sample to consider if you're working on something.

Scott Pierce's letterpressed chapbook "Some Bridges Migrate" is for sale and it looks beautiful - send me a check.

I won't be printing another chapbook this spring, but will be printing more work on into the summer which will combine offset and letterpress printing. I'm still looking for submissions for matchbook & for chapbooks - please consider sending over your work. If you've recently sent me work and I haven't gotten back to you, hang on until May when I'm out from under my class load and have more time to concentrate on your texts. Thanks!

January 2007 Update: Small Fires Press is up and running again after a two-year hiatus.  I am planning on publishing a new volume of Matchbook by the end of the summer of 2007 & will be printing two chapbook-length works this spring. 

The first of these books will be an eight-page letterpressed book by Scott Pierce.

This past fall I worked on several broadsides and a one-page book called “the hesitancies” – please check the projects page for more information about these prints.

Please consider submitting work to Matchbook or for consideration for a chapbook manuscript – check out the submit section for more details.
