Founded in 2005 by Halli Villegas, Tightrope Books publishes mainly poetry and fiction, as well as non-fiction and anthologies. As a "writer-centric press," Tightrope Books involves its authors and poets in the publishing process.[1] According to Villegas, Tightrope Books “prides itself on introducing readers to writers who are a little bit out there,”[2] working with both new and established authors who are open to experimentation.[1] Tightrope Books was purchased by Jim Nason in 2014.[3]
Tightrope Books is represented by the Independent Publishers Group (IPG).[4][5]
