Did you know we’re also a secret micropublishing collective?
You know the Literary Kitchen as home to your favorite School for Wayward Writers, but we also publish radical chapbooks, subversive zines, hand-crafted coloring books, and underground novelettes in tiny print runs. When they’re gone, they vanish forever—no reprints, no second chances.
Yes, you can browse dozens of commercially-distributed books by Wayward Writers including Ariel Gore at our main Bookshop right here—but for the truly rare finds, you’re in the right place. Media mail shipping is free within the U.S. We are not shipping internationally at this time. More Lit Kit books and chapbooks available in our Etsy shop.
