CHAPBOOKS — YALDA

Every two years, we publish chapbooks by the cohort graduating from the mentorship proram. Students are involved in every step of the publication process, from cover design to hand-binding. Published chapbooks are celebrated with a launch reading by the authors, alongside their mentors, at Ugly Duckling Presse in NYC.
