The Press
General Workshop Press is a reinvention of the chapbook, the small single-work booklets that emerged in 16th-century Europe and were carried from town to town by itinerant peddlers.
Other arts have always made room for the small. The snapshot. The three-minute song. The ten-second video. Fiction can fit there too. And where the others are often fleeting, ours are made to be kept.
