Another Booklyn Chapbook Series

Booklyn's ABC (Another Booklyn Chapbook) series, publishes three to five (short to mid-size) manuscripts per year by emerging and established authors and artists. Published works under the ABC series aim to meld fresh and inventive literary content with the tactile experience of handmade editions . . . bringing artist books to the literary world at a reasonable price. As a small independent publisher we advocate for freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and we are committed to supporting dissenting, provocative and controversial literature. With the ABC Series we are committed to expanding the diversity of our audience, by publishing emerging artists and authors of every race, class, ethnicity, religion, age, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
