Three Percent #178: This Podcast Is Not Contagious

Today's episode is all about small presses. Chad and Tom breakdown, discuss, elaborate on, and praise, Matvei Yankelevich's recent Poetry post 'The New Normal: How We Gave Up the Small Press." This is a rather wide-ranging conversation about grant applications, distribution for small presses, AWP, professionalization, how to value books aside from sales, the emotional side of publishing, and much more.  This week's music is "Everything Has Changed" by Best Coast.   As always, feel free to send any and all comments or questions to: [email protected].
