History
Sidebrow initially launched online in 2005 to provide a forum for exploring the collective and the singular in the literary arts. Expanding on the traditional publishing model, Sidebrow used the Internet as a tool for presenting projects as they evolved, encouraging contributions from established and emerging writers, poets, and artists that explored established themes and responded creatively to components already included on the Sidebrow website.
Through this open-ended, collaborative approach to publishing, Sidebrow’s inaugural anthology, a multi-threaded narrative featuring the work of 65 writers of innovative poetry and prose, provided a snapshot of the myriad possibilities evolving on the website, as well as an invitation to participate in that evolution by way of creative response. Two multi-author, project-focused chapbooks, City and White Horse, followed from that effort.
Sidebrow has since suspended its collaborative web project work in favor of publishing stand-alone single-author and collaborative books.
