About the press

Pig Roast Publishing is an independent press founded in 2015 by a collective of writers and artists seeking an alternative to conventional publishing models. Its name evokes the communal, egalitarian spirit of a pig roast—a gathering where everyone contributes and shares in the outcome. The press is dedicated to publishing innovative literary and artistic works that challenge genre boundaries and formal conventions, with a particular emphasis on hybrid texts, visual poetry, and cross-disciplinary projects. By prioritizing editorial collaboration and authorial vision over market trends, Pig Roast has cultivated a reputation for nurturing bold, idiosyncratic voices that might otherwise remain unheard.

Publishing focus

Pig Roast Publishing was founded by Jeff Schneider in Providence, Rhode Island. An independent press, Pig Roast Publishing is focused on transgressive and outsider books with a particular interest in underground art and music. They specialize in bringing radical and enticingly weird publications to like-minded readers across the globe.
