About Wordrunner
Chapbooks

The “Wordrunner” is really Jo-Anne Rosen.

The chapbook press is located in a home office in Petaluma (40 miles north of San Francisco).

I am a published writer of short fiction, with an MA in English literature. It is my pleasure to prepare books of poetry or short stories for fellow writers, and to see the list of books in print grow each year since 1997.

My stories have appeared in small magazines such as Other Voices, The Florida Review, The Dickens, and zines, Roman Candles and Bustout Magazine. I was awarded a two-week writing residency at Soapstone in 2007.

I self-publish my own work, as well. Two chapbooks are listed on the Books in Print page. Fiction and memoir from my writing support group, the No-Name Writers Convivium, was published on the e-chapbook site in fall 208.

Please take a look at the Wordrunner site to see what else is going on in my shop. I build websites and prepare any sort of publication for print or electronic distribution.
