A Small Press With Big Ideas

WELCOME TO ALAN SQUIRE PUBLISHING.

A small press with big ideas.

Joanna Biggar is a marvelous storyteller, and Melanie’s Song 

is an unputdownable, riveting feat of storytelling.

— The Literary Review

Poetry like burnished steel and prose that reads like poetry.

[Navigating the Divide] is the most captivating and rewarding book I’ve read this year.

—Tim Cahill

Billy Christmas is a book destined to be battered, much thumbed,

read and read again until its pages come loose. Pritchard is here to stay.

— James Clark, former Sunday Times journalist

I have admired Reuben Jackson’s work for over twenty years.

Scattered Clouds will alert old and new poetry fans to his fine, abiding talent.

—Terrance Hayes

Grace Cavalieri’s Other Voices, Other Lives is an important and necessary collection.

– Linda Pastan, Insomia

Voltaire. Nietzsche. Kerouac. Peabody. Alan Squire Publishing did it right. The Peabody Reader is a top-notch production.

–– Nathan Leslie, The Pedestal Magazine

It is our belief at ASP that you should be able to lend a good book to a friend, who could lend it to another friend, and, should it ever be returned, you should bloody well be able to read it yet again.

–James J. Patterson, co-founder of ASP
