At Radix Printing and Publishing Cooperative, we are more than just ink on paper. As a worker-owned and operated union print shop and publisher based in Brooklyn, New York, we blend craftsmanship, community, and creativity to bring your vision to life.
Our Commitments:
- Wide Array of Print and Design Services: Whether you need business cards, annual reports, posters, banners, or custom invitations, we’ve got you covered. Our services span offset, letterpress, digital, and wide format printing, ensuring your projects stand out.
- Specialty Printing: From foil stamping to die-cutting, we infuse your materials with a touch of artistry. Our skilled team transforms paper into a canvas for your ideas.
- Friendly Direct Customer Service: When you work with Radix, you’re not just a client; you’re part of our creative family. We listen, collaborate, and guide you through the process, ensuring your experience is as smooth as our prints.
- Publishing Voices That Matter: We champion underrepresented authors and artists. Their stories, perspectives, and creativity deserve a platform. From thought-provoking essays to captivating novels, we publish works that challenge norms and inspire change.
We’re worker-owned, because we believe that workers should have control over their workplace conditions and have a voice in the decisions that shape their lives. We are proud to operate a democratic business with no hierarchy and no bosses, which is almost unheard of in the publishing industry.
We’re union strong, because we know that without unions, we’d all be working 14-hour days and so would our children. (Note that our children appreciate unions, too.) We’re unionized with Local 1 of the Amalgamated Lithographers Union.
We’re eco-friendly, because we know that we only have one planet and that we should take care of it. We use 100% post-consumer recycled paper whenever possible, low-VOC inks in our presses, and dampening systems that are free of alcohol. This ensures that we are producing our books as responsibly as we can.
We offer a free submission option and a tip jar submission option: We believe that all submissions should be free but as a young press, any donation you make helps us pay our readers and cover digital costs.
We are currently NOT accepting manuscripts for Full-Length Poetry, Chapbooks, Novellas, and Visual Narratives, and manuscript excerpts for Novels, Essay Collections, and Memoirs.
We appreciate you taking time to check us out and look forward to reading your work!
