Book Fragments
U.S. Print Club
Each month I will mail you a fragment of a book I'm writing. With each fragment, you'll find a rough draft of something I've written, paired with an instant film photograph I've taken to complement it. These are not finished works. They're physical artifacts documenting the evolution of the project before the finished collection is published.
Sentences may change. Photographs may move. Some pieces may disappear entirely.
When the book eventually comes out, you'll be able to look back at those early drafts and see what changed between the fragment you received and the finished work. That's what makes being there from the beginning different from simply buying the finished book.
Book Fragments Print Club is a way to read the book while it's being made. You get to witness the work becoming the book.

What is this book I'm writing about?
This book is a collection. A collection is a book containing multiple short pieces, stories, poems, or essays written by a single author: me.
Although some collections have a theme, my first collection will not. This is because I'm just getting back into writing, so I want to give myself the chance to write about anything that interests me. After publishing this collection, I'm sure my next one could have a theme. However, no promises, as I enjoy the freedom to write about anything. Sometimes themes can be restrictive.
Here's what you can expect! Pieces about my brain picking at the threads of reality. Simple moments and short stories from my life that will give your mind a place to rest. Poems, and none about love unless one begs to be written and shared.
What you'll receive.
Every month, you'll receive two physical pieces in the mail:
One piece of writing.
A physical copy of an early draft of something I'm working on. Some pieces may change significantly before they're finished. Some may barely change at all. Some might never make it into the book.
One instant film photograph.
An archival fine-art reproduction of an original instant photograph from my personal archive. The entire photograph — border, imperfections, and all — is reproduced at its original scale on 5 × 7 archival paper.
The writing and photograph are selected as a pair and delivered together in an archival glassine sleeve.
Why rough drafts?
Most creative work isn't shared until it's finished. I'm interested in sharing what happens before that.
The original photographs and writing will stay with me as part of a growing physical archive. Over time, I'll revise the writing, edit the photographs, decide what belongs together, remove things, add things, and eventually shape the work into a finished collection.
As a Book Fragments Print Club member, you'll have the versions that came before it.
Original artifact → book fragment → finished book.
Made to keep.
I want each mailing to feel less like receiving a piece of marketing and more like receiving something pulled from an artist's archive.
The photograph is reproduced as a fine-art archival pigment print on museum-quality paper. The writing is printed separately on archival stock. Both are intentionally kept at the same 5 × 7 format and protected together in a translucent glassine sleeve.
Keep them individually, frame the photographs, or build your own archive as the collection grows.
Why did I start this Print Club?
I started this Print Club to hold myself accountable for achieving an old dream of mine. When I was in high school and college, I fell in love with writing. So much so that I worked toward a creative writing minor on the side of my business major, but fell two classes short of completing it because I just wanted to stop going into debt and graduate with my class.
Since entering the workforce, that dream has faded away. I want to push myself to revive it and make it a reality. I believe it will be rewarding to write this book while sharing it with you guys and gathering your thoughts along the way.
Frequently asked questions.
When will I receive my first Book Fragment in the mail?
When you join, you're paying for and will receive the following month's edition. For example, if you join anytime in January, your first Book Fragment will be the February edition.
Book Fragments are mailed on the 1st of each month. If you live in the U.S., your edition should typically arrive within one week. International deliveries may take up to four weeks.
Because these are sent by regular mail, tracking is not included. Occasionally, mail can get lost along the way. If your Book Fragment hasn't arrived within the timeframes above, please contact me.
How can I manage my membership?
You can manage your membership by signing into your account here.
From there, you can cancel or rejoin the Print Club, update your mailing address, and manage your membership whenever you please.
What is the return policy?
Because each Book Fragment is produced and mailed specifically for that month's members, all Book Fragment Print Club sales are final and cannot be returned.
If your Book Fragment arrives damaged or doesn't arrive within the expected delivery window, please contact me and I'll help make it right.
