While you won’t see Thirty West doing any hard pivots into popular fiction that’s getting all the eyes and dollars, just know that any book we publish is uniquely us and fiercely given its limelight; poetry, fiction, and chapbook alike.

Their upcoming PEPPERLEAF is going to be one of the best damn books you’ll ever read.

507(?) is where we’re at in the chapbook project. There’s no more than 600 ahead of it, and anyone behind this # may have a good chance of being accepted. More info to come as we close this out
