Chapbooks: They’re small books! Chaps usually hold 20 to 40 pages and give writers a chance to meditate on a single theme or send their work into the ether before creating a full-length book, so in them, you’ll often discover exceptional lesser-known writing talent. Though favored by poets, chapbooks can really hold anything, from thought-provoking nonfiction to fairy tales . You can find chaps at some of our favorite bookstores, like Berl’s Brooklyn Poetry Shop and McNally Jackson Books , and here are some suggestions to start carrying around now.Indie publisher H_NGM_N Books even offers nearly 50 digital chapbooks on its website all for free.
