Breaking Even... or at Least Getting Close

Well, it looks like a few of you have started to order your copies of Miller's New England Haiku Dictionary!  Because our goal here at Drafty Attic is to keep costs to a minimum, this means we're already about a third of the way to breaking even on our initial print run of 50 copies.  The sooner we break even, the sooner we can find a new book to publish by a new author!

Thanks for all of your interest.

New Beginnings!

Drafty Attic Press is exactly what it sounds like: one man (well, woman now), alone with roommates in his her attic apartment with a sweet-as-hell stapler and a laser printer that's starting to run out of toner.  This is bare-bones publishing and we love it.  We being me, Emily Miller.  Spending this much time alone in the attic gets me talking as an "us."  *eye twitch*

We're going to be focusing on doing small runs of chapbooks, mainly to help out friends who are looking for ways to get published, but perhaps expanding at some point to take on outside submissions.
