The press publishes between three and five new books each year, in genres including poetry, fiction, memoir, and biography. Their focus is on writers from the American Midwest, a "territory traditionally ignored by larger indie publishers," according to founder and publisher Jim Perlman,[2] who runs the press out of his home.[3] He also focuses on publishing Native American authors and thematic anthologies.[4]
