I think let's be risky, you know. Be experimental. Let's put a story out there and see what happens.
That quote from Maria says everything about why I wanted to bring these two brilliant people and their presses together. As a writer especially, but also as a dedicated reader, I feel really encouraged by the simple fact that they exist; that there are publishers out there putting the quality and depth of a story and the authenticity of voice above all else.
Over the course of the interview, we talked about the story behind the creation of each independent press, the synergy in what both Maria and Lottie look for in a manuscript and where that intersects with their own writing crushes. And how Lottie and Maria find the joys and challenges of being both publishers and writers themselves.
