Kevin Sampsell's Future Tense Books out of Portland, Oregon, publishes books & chapbooks of fiction, poetry, kink, sass & humor in pocket-sized volumes that pack plenty of punch. So cheeky!

Kevin also manages the small-press section at the country's favorite (blue, union-organized) indie bookstore, Powell's. The physical Powell's is a browser's dream, spanning an entire block of downtown Portland, with annex stores for technical and culinary books, and even an airport store. The online store is bibliophilia-inspiring. Read about Powell's here.

Powell's small-press section carries zines, chapbooks, and other DIY swag. For information about how to get your stuff into Powell's, contact Kevin at kevin dot sampsell at powells dot com.
