Troll Thread Shows Us How It's Done

If you're one of the thimbleful of people hoping to start a small press but not sure where to start, we've got an instruction manual for you, just out from the good folks at Troll Thread. "how to stop worrying abt the state of publishing when the world’s burning and everybody’s broke anyways and all you really care abt is if anyone is even reading yr work" goes step-by-step through the publishing process, with pointers like:

don’t worry about making it look good, gutters,
paratext, etc.

that’s all just marketing

leave that to “editors” who can pay “designers”, i.e.
bosses

or until you learn more about laying out books, which
you never need to learn

save yr cover as a .jpg & upload it in the cover
designer or use the default settings

whatever

set the price at zero revenue

that way you can buy more copies when lulu has coupons
for free shipping

also, this is poetry, you shouldn’t be making a profit
