Horseshoe Community Press celebrates local authors through hand-made carefully constructed books. We are particularly interested in authors who are part of a writing community and are looking to start publishing their work. In terms of genre and content, we are open to various types of writing. Whatever you share with your writing circle, we will take it into consideration. We like everything from ghost stories to poetry to local histories to crime fiction to graphic novels. If you are not sure about anything, please just send us an email to ask.  

Whenever possible, we work with local creatives, so please don’t hesitate to write about getting involved in any part of the book making process. For example, we source paper from Purple Butterfly: https://purplebutterflypaper.square.site/
