Casa Urraca Press emphasizes New Mexico and Southwestern writers of poetry and nonfiction. The press also focuses on educational opportunities, enabling readers and aspiring writers to take workshops with authors – and it’s done through the hard work of UNM graduate Zach Hively.
“Casa Urraca Press publishes daring, eloquent authors of poetry and creative nonfiction. We emphasize works from writers in New Mexico and the Southwest, though we make only rules that we can break. And we do everything for authors and books that any traditional publisher does from working with our writers on revising their manuscripts, clear through to distribution and marketing. We also offer writing workshops with our authors, focusing on generating fresh ideas and hatching creativity,” said Hively, the UNM alumnus who operates Casa Urraca Press.
