A petite art house of independent publishing. Overall a studio of print, word and symbol. From handmade journals, typewriter poetry to printmaking. Petite Press is alive. Honoring the art & necessity of storytelling. Offering a container of resource and vision support.
Petite Press especially supports storytelling projects that are in the realm of poetry, memoir, children’s books, illustration, zines… supporting themes of personal mythology, preservation, lineage, justice & re-enchantment.
It means to walk closely with the process and service of bringing your work to form.
A service that navigates the steps it takes from start to finish in bringing ether to earth -aka- your words and storytelling into material form.
While you maintain complete creative freedom & sovereignty from start to finish.
Petite Press is resourced and informed by what’s needed by industry standards.
Here to bridge the gap for the sovereign artist.
This is for those that wish to maintain creative freedom & also work with the skills of a designer in bringing the vision to life.
Independent artists have the power of sourcing what they need:
a] an illustrator b]photographer c]editor/peer-review d]book-formatting e]printer f]retail/e-commerce for sharing with the world g]social media promo.
Self-empowerment as artists and creators has become something to learn and nourish. The artist mind is not the same as the tactile mind. Left brain/ Right brain. Separating the two can save our sanity. It’s all about digestibility and support in the process.
Earthworm does’t eat more than they can chew as they navigate the soil of their lives. Petite Press will get in the soil with you.
There is power working with a petite press in that you have complete creative freedom and guidance in the design and formatting process.
