HumDrumPress is an experimental publishing project and expanded publishing practice that works, through collaborative means, to question the conventions of publishing. In doing so, we wish to explore new, connected ways of documenting and circulating voices, ideas, and contexts, and better understand the role of “publishing” and “publisher” within current political, economic, and ecological climates.

At the heart of HumDrumPress is the understanding of publishing as a commons, and as a public, community resource. Our publishing project is therefore shaped and shared by our network of collaborating individuals, organizations, and institutions. Our aim is to build and maintain a publishing home that supports the networks and knowledges shared, from both temporary and longer-term collaborators and partners to create a durable, supportive and sustainable print framework.

HumDrumPress’ publishing projects take the forms of both print and digital pamphlet-publications. We publish with a broad range of authors and subjects from a wide scope of disciplines, backgrounds and experiences. Some of whom are publishing for the first time, whilst others are seasoned writers, but all are connected in their interest in the ideas and methods surrounding “commons” and/or “commoning”. Moreover, as a publisher we are eager to work with a diverse and experimental range of content, form and styles that can work within the pamphlet framework.
 

HumDrumPress is composed of Amy Gowen (Editor and Researcher) and Wibke Bramesfeld (Graphic Designer), as well as our growing network of writers, artists, musicians, thinkers, friends, and collaborators.
