Cloverfield Press

What we say:
Cloverfield Press is a boutique publishing house dedicated to bringing new literary and artistic voices to a discerning public. We hope to create books as visually beautiful as they are intellectually and emotionally stimulating. Cloverfield Press is inspired by the example of Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press which published works by visionaries as well as modern masters, combining them with the best of modern design.
What other people say:
“A short story published alone in an elegantly designed volume, its jacket and endpapers letterpress-printed. It is unusual to lavish this much attention on a single story, and the publisher’s efforts seem to urge readers to reciprocate.” -The Believer Magazine
“Not only does LA-based Cloverfield Press come up with the best book covers in the small press world, but they strike an awesome balance between publishing heavyweight writers like Haruki Murakami and up-and-comers with superboffo lit skills.” -The Portland Mercury
“They could be tomorrow's superstars…” -Willamette Week
"Given the inherent difficulty of establishing a new novelist or short-story writer's reputation, few small presses dare to take fiction as their métier, at least at first. Newcomer Cloverfield is throwing caution to the wind by inaugurating its catalog with a New Writers' Series of short fiction. Cloverfield markets its limited-edition books as objets d'art, pairing works by emerging writers (Miranda July, Carol Treadwell) with handsome illustrations from artists at similar stages of their careers. "My wife and I started Cloverfield for the same reasons that drew me to independent film," says Matthew Greenfield, producer of indie films Chuck & Buck, The Good Girl and Star Maps, and husband to writer and Cloverfield co-publisher Laurence Dumortier. "There's a lot of incredible work that wasn't getting out there. We've always believed in the single short story as its own medium, and now we're getting a chance to test that out." -The L.A. Weekly
