Q&A with Newland Books
This month we have a special Q&A with Angela Dubinger and Sam Knepprath of Newland Books. Angela and Sam have created something special with Newland Books. There is such a level of consideration and care in their work. That thoughtfulness and attention to detail is present in everything from the titles they choose, to the images they post, and in how they deliver their books.

Q&A with Amy Lashley
This month we have a special Q&A with singer/songwriter/author/artist, Amy Lashley. Amy has released three solo albums and published a children’s book, in which she illustrated her song, “Bedtime At Mackensie’s Farm.” She is currently focused on mixed media-painting–often small scale, light-hearted celebrations of working folks, farms, and their animals.

Happy New Year!
I’m writing this missive while moving into OIP’s *almost completed* office. !!!!! It’s been a slow process that’s been a long time coming–which is kind of the theme of this post. Let’s be honest, it’s one of the themes for OIP. So, how do we enjoy the process more?

Q&A with Lorraine Tosiello
Hello, Friends! I don’t know about you, but I’m planning a late game reboot. Rest, repair, and fun are the must haves on this holiday wish list. And, lots of reading. To get started, we have a lovely book to add to your holiday stack, and a Q&A with one of its authors,
Lorraine Tosiello.

Q&A with Alex
Hope this finds you well. HTFYW. The greeting of our current age. Sometimes, while typing it, certain words seem to shimmer. Or, maybe it’s just that I’m typing this after being flattened and still a bit woozy. “Sick as a dog,” a phrase used by my ancestors. Pity the dog?

Q&A with Drake
In this edition of OIP news, we’re sipping cold drinks, crunching pellet ice, and resting between reality, folks. It’s Q&A time with our wonderful Production Designer, the immensely talented Drake Preston.

Welcome to Old Iron Press
We are a new female-led independent press based in Indianapolis, IN. At OIP, we champion irreverent underdogs, the handbuilt, and the hybrid. We love disobedient forms and books that risk something, are stylistically surprising, and embrace a philosophy of in-between.
