CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE KICKSTARTER
Circlet Press has been around for 25 years and to make sure we’re around in the future, we’ve set the stretch goals in our Kickstarter to allow us to keep up our publishing mission in the year 2018!

Sassafras is the 2013 winner of the Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Award.

Sounds right up our alley, no?

Lawrence Schimel remembers the year 1997, when we published his short story collection THE DRAG QUEEN OF ELFLAND, and launched our [non-erotic] gay and lesbian science fiction/fantasy line The Ultra Violet Library with it. He writes:
