we're looking for pretentious incomprehensible text art and unpolished rage.

because of the limitations of a small audience, we're a very cheap publisher. we don't have any brick and mortar bookshops that carry our books and don't really expect to anytime soon, if ever. books are printed on a home printer and hand-bound, the quality is not at all up to the standards of a more professional outfit. but on the other hand, they're cheap to make - in our standard contract, we allow the authors to choose the price of their book and take a fee from that for ourselves which in most cases will be just £3.

as well as physical books we also produce an ebook version, and may optionally work with authors to produce an audiobook. we're particularly interested in making audiobooks of experimental texts that can't simply be read out.

we don't believe in copyright, so we require that any book we publish be committed to the public domain (we may be willing to discuss creative commons licenses etc instead).
