LOUFFA PRESS was founded in 2010. Based in Morningside/Harlem, New York City, LOUFFA PRESS is a micropress that focuses on printing limited edition chapbooks using letterpress technology. 

THE MISSION behind Louffa Press is to foster a venue for limited edition, collectible, handmade chapbooks and art books by a wide array of authors and artists whose voices must be heard; to introduce new and innovative flash fiction, short stories, poetry, and those forms less easily classified; to put forth into the world precious artifacts that embody in their physical form a meticulously tailored and individualist aesthetic.

HATE SPEECH / DISCRIMINATION / INCLUSION

Louffa Press is a venue for innovative expression and to that end we do not tolerate hate speech or promote hate speech which targets or demonizes any groups based on race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, ethnicity, nationality or lifestyle choices. Louffa Press is committed to a diverse and inclusive cohort of writers, artists and producers and actively seeks to expand opportunities for women, persons of color and the lgbtq+ community.
