An intro post: I am an artist-publisher that operates under the imprint NewLights Press. I make books and prints, mostly by hand, with #letterpress #risograph and mixed #drawing media. Sometimes the work is solo and sometimes it is collaborative. The images show some recent work.

The grants are unrestricted and there are no reporting requirements. There is no application process. NLP subscribers nominate projects and then vote on which will be the final recipient. More info: www.newlightspress.com/nlp-public-g...
The NLP Public Goods Grants are an experiment in community-based income redistribution, resource sharing, and care. For every 50 subscribers, NewLights gives $500 per year to an artists’ books/print/publication project that is helping to grow and care for the ecosystem and community.
Subscribing in 2025 will get you a broadside by Judith Goldman (co-published with the Davidson College Letterpress Lab) and a letterpress and #riso chapbook by Douglas Kearney.
2025 books from @betweenthehighway.bsky.social are now available in the NLP store, under the "Books From Friends" category. Betweenthehighway prints & publishes using a receipt printer. But hey, look, there's a book book in there too.

Oh, and it's free and I plan to keep it that way! It will feature essays and interviews about books & print & the infrastructures that sustain them. Current things I'm writing on: "text-image constructs," capitalism and (book)arts education, and different types of reading.
I started a newsletter! Or really I restarted the NewLights Press IDE(A/O)(B)LOGY(Y/UE). First post with more info is linked below.

Another full-time #letterpress and #bookarts opportunity, this time at the Palace Press at the New Mexico History Museum in Santa Fe. Great city plus you'd get to work with some wonderful people! (Type "letterpress" into the search bar to find the posting.) careers.share.nm.gov/psc/hprdcg/E...
Thanks for the clarification! It's going to be invite-only for the foreseeable future. NewLights Press is just me, so I need to keep it small and manageable.
I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?
