Shape&Nature Press is a small, independent publisher of poetry, fiction, and creative literary projects founded in 2011.  Our mission is to publish the best contemporary literature we can find with an emphasis on work that challenges readers, either through content, craft, shape, or ideas.

In addition to publishing traditional books, we are also committed to dreaming up and facilitating creative literary projects that we think open up the literary experience, meaning we want readers to see, touch, taste, read and otherwise engage in literature in ways they haven’t done before.  So far, these projects have taken the form of interactive, public art, and have in common the goal of interacting with the greater community in new and interesting ways.

Goddard alumna Maria Williams-Russell is the Founding Editor and heads the editorial team.
