The Small Run is the occasional newsletter of Analog Submission Press.
Each issue extends the life of a publication beyond the book itself. It carries conversations with authors, notes on form and process, reflections from behind the press, and news of forthcoming editions.
There is no fixed schedule. New issues appear when they are ready.
