Small Press Spotlight

Madras Press
 
 
Women & Children First is proud to be the first Chicago bookstore to carry the brand-new press: Madras.
 
There are a number of reasons Madras and Women & Children First are a perfect fit:
 
1.  Madras Press publishes individually bound novella-length booklets.  In other words, they're giving a venue to stories that are having a hard-time fitting into the short story collection/ novel binary that's become ubiquitous in fiction publishing. The format of their books provides readers with the opportunity to experience a story on its own, with no advertisements or unrelated articles surrounding it; it also provides a home for stories that are often arbitrarily ignored by commercial publishing outfits, whether because they’re too long for magazines but not trade-book length, or because they don’t resemble certain other stories. These are clumsy, ill-fitting stories made perfect when read in the simplest possible way.
 
2. Madras distributes their proceeds to a growing list of charitable organizations chosen by our authors.
 
3.  Three of their first four books are by women.
