CHOO CHOO PRESS

Choo Choo Press is a Risograph publishing project dedicated to poetry, artists' books, and thoughtful nonfiction.

We publish 3-4 books a year, mostly by queer and women artists. We strongly prioritize the physical reading experience. To this end, all of our books are printed in-house and are subsequently hand cut, collated, and bound. Print runs are typically 150-250 copies.

You can shop us online in our Etsy store. To see our books in person, drop by the following NY bookstores: McNally Jackson, Quimby's NYC, Black Spring Books, Topos Bookstore, Unnameable Books or the Grolier in Boston. Just ask for the zine section :)

Select poetry chapbooks are also housed at the Poets House library and at the Asian American Writer's Workshop, where they are available to read free of charge.

PS email us for submissions or just to say hi!
