Gutted to hear that a lot of presses have been left in the lurch today. Publishers can apply to join Asterism (and read more about our terms) here: asterismbooks.com/for-publishers
We'll do our best to expedite things if we think you're a fit!

Trade distributor and online bookstore for independent presses of a literary bent. We do things a little differently.
- Buy books directly from small presses.
- We'll be announcing some open meetings for small presses next week who want to join and ask questions. In the meantime the skinny: - We handle bookstore, library, and direct-to-consumer sales (including international!) - We take 24% of the sale price - No fees
- Going through the Burning Deck catalog. Burning Deck was founded in 1961 by Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop, who ran it until 2017. This marvelous catalog will be online soon!
- We're excited to throw open the doors on Asterism (v2)! We aim to be both an online storefront and distribution hub for small presses of a literary bent. For launch, we have titles by @KERNPUNKTPress @1111Press @FumdEstampa @SpurlEditions @WhiskeyTitBooks @_contramundum_ ...
- Just look at this (growing, by the hour) roster of small presses!
- Our first print catalog starts mailing today! Booksellers and librarians, do drop us a line if you’d like one!
- Speaking of big new arrivals, none are bigger (physically, anyway), than our new bookshelves! We'll be filling them in short order, so stay tuned! Booksellers, starting next month (and maybe sooner if you ask nicely), you are welcome to come by and browse the stacks!
- Our intern has been hand drawing these little signs for the bookshelves… you guys…
- Walking around the warehouse on a Saturday, some things we’e excited about. 🧵
- Friends! We’re throwing open the doors of Asterism HQ next month! Publishers, librarians, and booksellers are invited to an extended happy hour on Friday, July 26! And both weekend days, from 10am-6pm, we’ll be open to the general public for a book sale! Mark your calendars!
