Making Space: The Art of Centering

Making Space offers aspiring small publishers and cultural creators the nuts-and-bolts knowledge for how to start and run a small press and host cultural programming. This wide-ranging nuts-and-bolts "how to publish" creative nonfiction text is paired with the aesthetic philosophy of literally and figuratively making space on the page and stage and pulls from the experience of founding and running Nomadic Press and national-award winning small press that was in operation from 2011–2023.
