"... We try to distribute our books as slowly and carefully as possible. We're too small to fail." The press is run by volunteers -- the editorial team, writers and designers aren't paid for their efforts, and all have other day jobs, according to Fitch...

Once a manuscript is edited and a cover is designed, the next step is to print 3,000 copies and distribute many of them to over 50 independent bookstores across the country. These costs are covered by the company's status as a nonprofit. ... ...All participating authors retain the rights to their work and have the ability to re-release their novels through traditional publishing houses."
