About this project
Louffa Press is a small press that publishes new and innovative microfictions in batches of 100 numbered copies of handmade, letterpressed or screenprinted booklets by established writers and new ones alike. The goal for this project is to fund the publishing of four new chapbooks by Louffa Press authors. Each chapbook will be artfully presented, sent for reviews, and distributed in boutique shops and independent bookstores that support small presses. These are handmade works of art that are fun to read and are very collectible. A recent Louffa Press chapbook is David Hoenigman's Shame On You (featured in the video), with photos by Kawori Inbe. Hoenigman runs a performance art series called Paint Your Teeth in Tokyo. Upcoming chapbooks are by Mike Topp (author of Shorts are Wrong), Zeami (author of the graphic novel Le Pharaon Toxique), Steve Katz (author of numerous novels and story collections) and a chapbook of sketches by Chelsea Martin! Help Louffa Press publish these four chapbooks over the next year in the classic letterpress style.
HOW WILL IT BE DONE?
The book covers will be printed in New York on recycled handmade paper from Porridge Papers, a wonderful papermill located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The funds from kickstarter will be a good start towards printing costs for the paper and studio time for printing the covers. One way or another, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Will you play a part?
All best,
Louffa Press.
