Running the Goat, Books & Broadsides is a micro press located in Tors Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. The press originally began as a letterpress publisher, producing hand-sewn books and broadsides. Since then, they have expanded and their offerings now include children’s literature, poetry, fiction, and letterpress-printed books and broadsides.
Initially, Running the Goat focused on publishing writing and writers who were from or living in Newfoundland and Labrador. However, their list now includes writers from across Canada. The emphasis is on stories, folklore, history and traditions of Eastern Canada but they also create books that engage with the wider Canadian culture.
