Choo Choo Press is a non-profit 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, making use of the various forms of a "book" to highlight our authors' vision. To this end, all of our projects have some handmade element.
