Stillhouse Press

Launched in January 2014, Stillhouse Press is an independent, student-staffed, nonprofit book press based in Northern Virginia. In the rapidly changing landscape of small press publishing, we are devoted to CRAFT PUBLISHING: the careful development and promotion of works that affirm the enduring power of the written word to inform contemporary social, literary, and cultural conversations. Stillhouse Press is committed to publishing voice-driven writers, both emerging and established, that transcend genre, take risks both in form and content, and push the boundaries of the narrative and lyric. We provide educational opportunities to students through the applied experience of soliciting, acquiring, producing, and marketing of titles, in an effort to forge and foster lasting relationships with authors and the greater literary community. As a nonprofit entity, we seek support through donations and grants, though it is the continued goal of the Press to be financially self-sustaining.
