MSU Libraries Short Édition

A project of Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries

About

MSU Libraries purchased four Short Édition machines in 2019 from Short Édition, an international publisher that offers free on-demand printing of thousands of short stories and poems. The program was launched in Grenoble, France in 2015. Interest in the technology grew in the United States after Francis Ford Coppola installed a dispenser in his San Francisco café. MSU Libraries Short Édition offers an innovative publishing venue for writers. We welcome submissions and will consider all work for inclusion in MSU Libraries machines. Work that is accepted will also be considered for national and international publication through Short Édition machines located throughout the world.
