Tulipwood Books
PRESS LAUNCH
February 1, 2025
Following the success of past literary events like “Beerhall Bookfair” and “Drag Queen Sex-Ed Book Party,” former Papeachu Press co-editor Lynne Ellis hosted a free-to-attend event introducing and celebrating Tulipwood Books—a new developmental-editing poetry press—alongside Chris Vega and Tacoma’s favorite Blue Cactus Press.
The press launch featured readings from Abby E. Murray, AJ Dent, Deborah Bacharach, Ambalila Hemsell, Carrie Redway, Alli Parrett, and Erin Armstrong.
