Big news! 🎈📯🎭 3 Hole Press is joining together with
@53rdstatepress and
@playsinverse under the umbrella of
@bookstcg !!
Dear friends,
At 3 Hole Press, we rely on familial metaphors. When Mary Marge joined the Press, she became the Press’ step dad. Presses we collaborate with become sister presses. In our latest news, we’ve been adopted!
At the end of last year, 53rd State Press absorbed our catalog alongside the catalog of Plays Inverse. Beginning in March, all our titles will be available via our parent distributor, Theatre Communications Group. This means 3 Hole Press titles will be part of a definitive home for new books in the world of drama and performance.
Coming together as presses feels like a gift. Artistically, it’s an honor to share a home with so many of the writers who inspired our press into being and who are influences for many of our authors. Practically, this means we can keep our books more sustainably in print and that we can share resources and knowledge within a wider editorial collective. The mission of all of our presses are intertwined; we are all artist-run and held together by belief in our writers and their work. We already share authors and communities. The theater world is small. It turns out we need each other.
To learn more, about this change and how to order our books (it will be easier!), including lots of titles that are now back in the print! please read our newsletter (link in 🍅).
Thank you to everyone—fellows, mentors, friends—who has thought through various iterations of our future alongside us. Thank you to our designer Alice Chung for her playful and beautiful redesigns. Thank you to our artists for supporting this change with grace and excitement. It is exciting! We’re grateful to Erin Salvi and John Petrie at TCG for welcoming us into their house. And we are especially grateful to Kate Kremer, whose vision and tremendous commitment have made everything possible.
🖤 3 Hole
