Tomorrow, I’ll be joining Jenna Blum for a conversation on A Mighty Blaze about the launch of 1455 books. At its heart, this conversation isn’t just about a new imprint. It’s about why we felt called to create it.
For years, 1455 Literary Arts has supported writers through our magazine, readings, interviews, and community programs. Along the way, one truth has become clear: too many strong voices go unheard—not because the work lacks merit, but because the system isn’t built to hold everyone.
1455 books was created in response to that truth.
I’m grateful to Jenna and the A Mighty Blaze team for creating space for this conversation and for their continued commitment to the literary arts.
If you’re curious about where 1455 books is headed—or believe publishing can be both generous and rigorous—I hope you’ll join us.
