Public Reading Events Press

[Prices]{style="text-decoration: underline;"}

Have you ever been at a reading showcasing new material and a person asks where they can buy the material they just heard? I have the solution. Have your work to sell before it’s published and still publish it later with PRE Press. I will produce chapbook-sized booklets for you up to 40 pages that you can take with you to conferences, workshops, and public reading events of course (open mics included). The best part about this service is that it’s not like a vanity press where your material is considered published. Once you run out of copies, it’s gone and you can still seek publication.
