Thread Makes Blanket was started with the intention of publishing poetry chapbooks and short stories. However, as is evident in our production of Letter from Tombs Prison, 1917, the press is open to the idea of publishing anything we feel passionate about.
We are excited about two upcoming book length projects in the works. The first is the people's history title listed above and picture on this page and the second book project will be an anthology of work by VONA alum.
We are interested in placing the books on consignment at bookstores and infoshops across the country-- many are already carrying our titles, but if you know of others, please email us at info@threadmakesblanket.com. Additionally, free and/or discounted copies are available for use in educational programs.
We are not accepting unsolicited submissions at this time.
