Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Bull City Press, an independent small press based in North Carolina, was born in 2006. In 2015, we launched a line of fiction and nonfiction chapbooks when we merged with Origami Zoo Press. We also host events in the Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina when we’re able. We love readers, and we love writers. We want to make sure they find each other. So that we can both pay the writers we publish and keep readers’ costs low, we are staffed entirely by volunteers. No one draws a salary from the press, so we can put all proceeds into creating new chapbooks. You can find more information on our staff here. We currently publish a small quarterly magazine, Inch, and chapbooks of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Each year, we publish the winner of the Frost Place Chapbook Competition. Our logo and our mascot, Barry the Bull, were designed by Flying Hand Studio. They also designed most of our books before 2017. Many of our titles are now designed by Spock & Associates. Through a partnership with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we give students the chance to learn editing, design, and publishing skills by working on Bull City Press titles. Students have provided invaluable feedback to authors, created book jackets and interiors, and developed marketing materials for several books.
