Tulipwood is a place for collaborative creative writing.

We work with poets to develop and publish their manuscript, transforming a project idea into a printed book. After its release, we continue to support this book by placing it with bookstores, and by holding events for the author and their community.

Too often, writing can be an isolated practice—we believe that collaboration can strengthen the written word and serve both the art and the artist.

Poets need poets. Here are some of our faves.
