WHAT IS TINY TOAD PRESS?
Tiny Toad Press is an imprint of local humor and arts magazine The Joplin Toad. The goal of Tiny Toad Press is to help authors and poets break into the publishing world by publishing extraordinary tiny books. We publish first-time authors/poets as well as seasoned writers.
We like to keep our books small for two reasons: 1) To publish with us, an author needs only a solid five-thousand-word short story, rather than a seventy-thousand-word novel, and a poet only needs ten to fifteen poems, instead of fifty, and 2) a reader is much more likely to pick up a book of poetry from an unknown poet if there are only ten poems, if the cost is low ($5), and if the poet is local.
All of our books are limited run, hand-numbered, and signed by the author/poet.
