Small Press Is Beautiful
by JUSTIN CLARK

Cloverfield Press Given the inherent difficulty of establishing a new novelist or short-story writer's reputation, few small presses dare to take fiction as their métier, at least at first. Newcomer Cloverfield is throwing caution to the wind by inaugurating its catalog with a New Writers' Series of short fiction. Cloverfield markets its limited-edition books as objets d'art, pairing works by emerging writers (Miranda July, Carol Treadwell) with handsome illustrations from artists at similar stages of their careers. "My wife and I started Cloverfield for the same reasons that drew me to independent film," says Matthew Greenfield, producer of indie films Chuck & Buck, The Good Girl and Star Maps, and husband to writer and Cloverfield co-publisher Laurence Dumortier. "There's a lot of incredible work that wasn't getting out there. We've always believed in the single short story as its own medium, and now we're getting a chance to test that out."
