These next few weeks The Red Beard Press Blog will be featuring the artists who will be published in Pufferfish. We will be showing some excerpts from their work and conducting interviews with those who are interested. Stay tuned to hear more from the Artists!!! Until then, continue to tune in to the important and moving words from our previous authors such as Carlina Duan who, from Malaysia reminds me daily to refresh how I think about and take up space. As well as how I perceive and consume the things as close/distant as language.

"shondrea and i talked about how language is your power. some days, admittedly, i zone out. in my town, bahasa malayu gushes in fast rivers out the mouths of every neighbor, 7-11 cashier, fruit stall owner, teacher, friend. around me, language lives -- takes a breath, picks its nose. and when i fall out of the language train and do not understand, i feel like i get squeezed to tight quarters, constricted and lonely and sad. but i have to believe that i'm being made better for it: stronger, sturdier, questioning so much about my own history of being raised in a bilingual world, while putting in the work/wait to learn this new language." -Excerpt from the blog of former Red Beard Supervisor and Co-author of Electric Bite Woman, Carlina Duan (see more​)

    About Red Beard Press 

    Red Beard Press is an independent, youth-driven publishing company dedicated to creating cutting-edge literary arts projects, publishing emerging voices, and inspiring passionate literary communities.

    Essentially... youth publishing the emerging voices of other youth & attempting to spark a love for words.

    We hope to fill a vital role in rediscovering the unity that once connected our society to literature. We have the potential to pique both current and future generations' interest in the literary arts, bringing together an increasingly diverse population with a common desire to read good books. It's urgent that RBP flourish in today's society in order to impress upon young people that literature still has the power to serve as a bridge to both inspiration and insightful dialogue.


    Red Beard Press is also necessary in order to provide a platform for youth voices in Ann Arbor and beyond. It will help amplify how we feel and how we process our world in a society where our voices are often either misinterpreted or drowned out. 

    We need books for our literary imaginations to survive and we need to create opportunities for young people to to write them. Red Beard Press aims to fill those needs by publishing books that young people will want to read and by putting those books directly in their hands.
