A piece that speaks for itself and couldn't be any further from the truth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bakers Dozen Press.

I've been thinking about this long and hard, because i get asked to work with other poets, mostly young ones, a bit. So, I've stared a thing called Bakers Dozen Press. You send me a txt file via attachment of 13 poems. I'll make up 50 copies, keep 13, give you 37 and the PDF files / cover stamp block. I'll show you how to make them as well, so you can make more after this edition. You're a poet in the list if you want. I think I can make 3 or 4 of these publications a year.

I don't want to select poems, just send what you think are the ones and after a cursary glance / spellcheck / proofread
into the template they go. Think about order and think about size (no epic poems), 1 poem per page.. Think about bio notes and past publication history. I'm busy but kind. I'll help improve your poems onto the page. You have to help make your books. An hour or two on a stapler or glue stick won't hurt a keen poet, ever.

Thinking. Other models of indie distribution and royalty payments. Postages vs couriers. type blocks on 3d cutters. Small squareish chapbooks, banana box covers, rubberband vs cable tie vs staple vs stiches. Logo is a cake cut into 13 bits. If I make 50 chapbooks for someone, i'd keep say 10 copies and send the rest on.

I don't want to gatekeep you. Or shamelessly self-promote you. Or require you to take out a $6000 student loan. The office is open to all non-microsoft filetype attachments. 13 poems max. Hi-tech and low-tech combo for printing. Suggestions / ideas / manuscripts - send your emails to [email protected]

Lots of poets and writers ask me for help, assistance and support which I will freely give. I've collected quite a pile of other poets writings, many of which are really good and deserve publishing. Given the current corrupt framework of funding I've decided to offer a small chapbook advisory/production service. Thirteen poems max, easily produced DIY publications.
