We publish and distribute the quarterly literary/arts zine "Wisdom Teeth" which can be found around the Bay Area - we want your submissions! CUSTOM POSTERS
Half of the press is devoted to custom poster printing. We will print out any image you send us according to the following guidelines:
• The image file must be in either .pdf, .jpg, or .png format (.pdf preferred. No maximum file size).
• All
layers must be flattened before submission.
• Your file must have a minimum resolution of 100-150 dpi.
• Your fonts must be converted to Outlines / Curves where possible before submitting your file.
• We only print 4 color process CMYK. If you use Spot or Pantone colors, please convert them to process colors (CMYK) before submission.
• You may email the files to: [email protected], or hand a hard copy to me in person. If you email, we would recommend using a program such as 7-Zip or WinZip to compress your file into .zip format or an online filesharing site such as Dropbox. All hard copies will be scanned at 1200 dpi and will not be returned.
• We will only print the image according the specifications you’ve made to the file – any retouching or modification is up to you. All posters are printed on high-quality Epson brand Professional Media Presentation Matte Paper (7.5 mil thickness, 130 g/m2). To commemorate Pe**te Songbook’s launch, we’re offering 7 unique poster designs for sale including artwork by John Yates (Alternative Tentacles Records), portraits of Hunter S. Thompson, and Alfred Hitchcock theater posters as listed below. By no means will these be the only ones - this press will be also be an outlet for any eye-catching unconventional designs we find and we’ll be periodically offering them through Facebook and other venues TBA.

The other half of the press is devoted to publishing aspiring and/or established writers, poets, artists, etc. Co-editor Stephanie Foo and I have just published the first issue of own own literary/arts zine called “Wisdom Teeth” which will continue on a quarterly basis throughout the year. We invite you to submit anything to complete our next issue – we are always looking for poetry found behind your couch cushions, short stories written on Ouija boards, trip reports, reviews, interviews, comics, illustrations, snarky horoscopes, photos, sudden realizations, lists, rants, etc. There is no overall theme. We just ended up talking to too many people letting their work and ideas sit collecting dust and decided to do something about it. We distribute to City Lights Books, Green Apple Books, Pegasus Books, Public Barber Salon, the Beat Museum, Dog Eared Books, Analog Books, Needles and Pens, and other retail locations across the Bay Area. Please send all submissions for the summer issue to: [email protected] by May 1, 2012. If you haven’t received a copy of our first issue yet we’d be happy to mail you one. INDEPENDENT CHAPBOOK PUBLICATIONS
Pe**te Songbook also offers to print and/or publish your work as an independent publication unrelated to our zine. Currently we are looking for written pieces including novellas, poetry, stories, plays, and travel writing, but we’re open to any submissions. We print in chapbook format only in the following available page sizes according to your preference:
• 4.25” x 5.5”
• 5.5” x 8.5”
• 8.5” x 11”
We can accommodate printing runs of up to 500 copies in B&W or color. There is no page limit. All publications will be center-staple bound only, and laser printed on high-quality Boise X-9 Premium Multipurpose Matte Paper. We can also distribute to venues of your choice if desired. Please contact us with details about your intended project and we can discuss rates to fit your budget. We aim to make this as affordable as possible for you and can beat the price any other press has quoted you. For example: say you want 50 copies of a standard 5.5" x 8.5" zine made, 16 pages each, full color, center stapled. Psprint.com will charge you $288.50. *All we ask from you is $25.00.*
Thanks for stopping by and please tell your friends about us! I have also made an event flyer for this on Facebook with the same information - come join the party.
