Fellow small presses--we can and will vouch for our +++ experience working with Asterism Books!

I got to interview Sean Enfield for Write or Die Magazine about his essay collection HOLY AMERICAN BURNOUT! (@splitlippress). He is a wizard at intersecting the personal w/the critical. I will be a student of his work for a long time to come. Read the interview. Buy the book!

We're thrilled to announce that we'll be publishing Em J Parsley's slim novella, 'You, From Below,' in February 2025! This surreal story, following a character who escapes from a crumbling world, caught our attention and wouldn't let go. We can't wait to share it with you!

HOLY AMERICAN BURNOUT! (and Sean Enfield) are out on tour! Hey Texas! He's headed your way this week! Make sure you catch Sean at one of these lovely events!

My compliments to fellow war writer and U.S. Navy veteran Jillian Danback-McGhan , whose haunting short-story collection 'Midwatch' (@splitlippress) also boasts its own dark coffee roast?! 'Bold Stories,' indeed!
