Our Mission
Decatur Dixon Press is the first publishing company to double as a work of experimental art. Founded by a visual anthropologist and an art historian-curator, DDP seeks wholly interdisciplinary content that re-thinks the possible, even challenging traditional book organization and structure.
Decatur Dixon Press is a platform for sharing exciting new manuscripts with a focus on emergent authors, artists, and illustrators. Going forward, we envision an expanding line of content through a number of thematic series. The first series, Illustrated Classics, transfigures the commonplace, as Arthur Danto might have it; it contains contemporary takes on historical fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and philosophy. Selected texts, now in the public domain, are read anew to provide fresh insights about history, philosophy, art, politics, the contemporary world, and the boundlessness of ideas.
We welcome manuscripts and proposals of all kinds from creative writers, scholars, and artists. We are especially interested in those projects that sit between genres. Please contact us by email for details.
