OTIS BOOKS / SEISMICITY EDITIONS
Otis Books/Seismicity Editions is a publication project of the Graduate Writing Program of Otis College of Art & Design. Given the crisis in U.S. publishing and the difficulties facing new and innovative writing seeking to find its way into print, Otis’ Graduate Writing Program has established this literary press as an alternative to both corporate and small press publications. Seismicity Editions is committed to publishing innovative works of contemporary fiction, poetry, essays, creative non-fiction and translation in high quality, trade paperback editions.
-- Paul Vangelisti and Guy Bennett, editors
