A Small Press Life: "The only reason for being a professional writer is that you just can't help it."-Leo Rosten

About This Blog

A Small Press Life describes both my creative philosophy and artistic path. I have chosen, as a writer of both non-fiction and prose, to create and publish solely in the Small Press world. This is a natural and very deliberate choice on my part, born of passionate principle,personality and proclivity. I support independent publications, mine and those of others. In so doing, I am following humbly and gratefully in the footsteps of many outstanding writers and poets.
As with Robert McAlmon or Ernest Walsh, I am not content to simply chase my unfettered muse:I like to include others in the ride. Living A Small Press Life is about taking matters into your own hands. It is embracing the necessity to jump in and get dirty, on behalf of yourself and others.
