The Coffee Table

This project is believed to be defunct. (November 2024)

About

Nestled in a book nook of the internet, The Living Room intends to bring together poets, writers, authors, and all the in-between in our volumes of The Coffee Table - a bi-monthly collection of works from creative minds roaming the vastness of the world, experiencing all that life has to offer. Our main purpose and something that we've always been driven by is the necessity to hear the tremendous range of voices we all have - to hear the difference in stories and experiences. To truly understand, or at the very least hear, the profound and beautiful depth of humanity. We aim for our press to go above and beyond, and create a space for writers and readers alike to be able to relax. Like the living room is the heart of the home, ours is the place to kick your feet up and take a deep breath.
