We are just starting to find the words to say thank you for how much support we received at Indie Craft Parade this year -- truly one of the best experiences since starting the Press. It can be lonely starting a business, but knowing we'll carry these words with us wherever we go makes it all feel worth it. Thanks for everyone who used our typewriter to write such beautiful (odd, silly, playful, 67) words and also to everyone who bought a book. Thanks for supporting indie publishing in the South 📚

MOB THE SKY by NitaJade coming 2027 from Loblolly Press.

NitaJade, an Affrilachian Poet and self-proclaimed weirdo, hails from Asheville, NC. They earned their B.A. from Berea College (2019) and their MFA in Creative Writing: Poetry from the University of Kentucky (2022). They insist that their late O.G. Queen's sweet potato pie epitomizes love, and they aspire to embody the aesthetics of sloths and narwhals (slarwhals, if you please). They laugh loudly and stubbornly. NitaJade’s debut poetry collection, Mob the Sky, is expected to release in 2027.
