Welcome to The Lives You Touch Publications. We are a small press dedicated to the creation of finely crafted poetry and prose chapbooks.
We take great care with the words and works our poets and authors have entrusted to us, and we strive to create a venue worthy of their literary efforts in all our publications. Great attention is paid to the selection of the materials we use and how each literary piece is presented on every page from cover to cover. We believe the creation of a chapbook is a collaborative endeavor between editor and writer, and we work closely with our writers to not only meet, but exceed their needs and expectations.
Our journals and chapbooks are saddle stapled, assembled, and trimmed by hand. We produce and inspect our chapbooks one at a time to ensure perfect alignment of the pages and cover. Only quality production materials go into the creation of our publications which includes 65 lb. paper or 65 lb. 25% cotton cover stock and 24 lb. recycled paper (95 bright) for the body.
Once an order has been processed, we ship our chapbooks in bubble wrap padded mailers, and for larger orders, each order is wrapped in brown paper, wrapped in bubble wrap, and shipped in cardboard boxes or book mailers.
