real books

by real people

The idea for Dead Prince Books came in March, 2026 while sewing notebooks and making linocut prints in the village of Rozgarty, Poland. I’m back home in Wisconsin now, working hard to print books and broadsides by real people, for real people. Without the brilliant and generous writers who contribute the words, and artists who help design covers and formats, I’d have nothing. That’s why I try to make, by hand, each book or broadside unique and interesting, with art and design to complement the words. It’s a privilege to have been able to work with such talented people and I look forward to meeting and creating with more. Thank you so much for supporting me and all small presses.
