Dirt Editions puts out occasional pamphlets by writers who are often too devoted to touching the dirt of the world to focus their attentions on publishing a book — and who, in part for that reason, are writing what I want to read. The word “pamphlet” derives from Πάμφιλος, (beloved of all). It contains the word for “friend.”

Dirt pamphlets are made at the kitchen table and distributed informally. For ordering info, email [email protected]. A slightly more elaborate website will soon appear at dirteditions.com.
