For over 50 years every title published by the press has been kept in print.

Good literature
stays good.

For more than half a century, Hanging Loose has championed the work of authors marginalized by mainstream publishing—work frequently less visible, whether because of gender, race, age, class or socioeconomic status. We continue today, in pursuit of this mission, to look for ways of broadening our creative and cultural scope.
