OUR MISSION

THE GREEN LANTERN PRESS is a paperback company dedicated to the publication and distribution of emerging and forgotten works. We focus on underdressed intelligence; works that relate old dusty books to contemporary experience without a lot of noise and pointing.

Dedicated to the “slow media” approach, each work is printed in small, collector’s editions of 1,500. The first 500 are printed with hand-silk screened covers. The remainder, the ‘no frills’ editions, are sold at an easier price. This is in keeping with a general attitude about consumerism and the material we print, namely that we intend to make our material available to all audiences at a range of costs. Audio mpgs will be available for download at no charge. It is important that the stories we print get into willing hands. Ultimately, we hope to build a community of collectors who support us because they believe in our product and wish to sustain the relationships we foster between burgeoning or marginalized authors and the public.

Work submitted by authors is done so on a donation basis. We manage all printing and distribution costs. We do not keep the rights of any book, but ask to be notified of any re-printings.
