Left Fork & Flowstone Press Left Fork is a small press. Flowstone Press is an imprint of Left Fork. Left Fork is a small press making books and things by hand and/or print on demand.

While not limiting ourselves to publishing regional work, one of our main goals is to create work celebrating the people, places, and history of Oregon's Illinois Valley. Why Left Fork? For one, our international headquarters is situated overlooking the West Fork of the Illinois River in southwestern Oregon. And West is Left. Also, we are an unashamedly progressive press and do not shrink from peo

ple calling us Lefty. Finally, we think forks, be they in roads or rivers (or salads), provide opportunity for conscious choices. As a press, we are conscious of what and how we create, as well as what we leave behind. Many of our books can be purchased at https://bookshop.org/shop/leftforkbooks

What is Left Fork?

Left Fork is a small press in Southwest Oregon, and our primary focus is books celebrating the people and culture here (and here is defined loosely–maybe let’s say we span the full Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion of SW Oregon and NW California). If you’re a local author or your work focuses on this region, Left Fork might be a good fit. That said, we also seek to publish the best possible writing, particularly the highest quality poetry through our Flowstone imprint. If that brings us strong authors and artists from elsewhere, we’re excited to meet you and share your work with the world. We work closely with authors to create a book they can be proud of. We also have a strong focus on supporting young writers, by publishing their work alongside that of more seasoned writers (the literary journal Cobra Lily being one such place).

Why Left Fork? For one, our international headquarters is presently situated overlooking the West Fork of Oregon’s Illinois River, and West is Left. Also, we are an unashamedly progressive press and do not shrink from people calling us Lefty. Finally, we think forks, whether in roads or rivers, provide opportunity for conscious choices. As a press, we are conscious of what and how we create, as well as what we leave behind. As one example of this mission, we utilize print-on-demand technology, to hopefully minimize the number of unwanted books in the world.
