Pre-order our debut book before March 1

Pre-order our debut book, Sesquipedalian Rain Chant, before March 1, and you’ll receive a complimentary entry into The LemonLight Prize — a $3,000 award and publication from Ink & Ribbon Press.

No additional purchase.
No complicated steps.
Just early support returned with opportunity.

Our first publication, Sesquipedalian Rain Chant by Brooks Lampe is now available for pre-order and only $18.95 + Postage for a highly crafted limited edition hand numbered book by a new press.

On March 1, the inaugural LemonLight Prize opens.

We want these two beginnings to reinforce each other.

So here is the invitation:

»Pre-order here before March 1«

→ Receive a complimentary The LemonLight Prize entry link when the Prize opens.

You may use it yourself or gift it to another poet.

Why We’re Doing This

Ink & Ribbon Press was built to do two things well:

1. Publish poetry as crafted, lasting books.

2. Create meaningful opportunities for poets.

The book and the Prize are not separate initiatives. They are the same commitment expressed differently.

When you pre-order, you are helping fund:

• A $3,000 prize fund

• The publication of a new poet

• 250 carefully produced copies of our debut book

• The continuation of slow, deliberate publishing

As outlined in How Gifts Become Books each dollar directly supports poets, printers, and permanence.

How It Works

1. Pre-order Sesquipedalian Rain Chant before March 1.

2. Use your preferred email at checkout and add a note in the ‘Additional Information’ box.

3. On March 1, you’ll receive your complimentary entry code.

That’s it.

This is our inaugural year.

The first book.
The first Prize.
The first 250 copies.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to step in — this is it.

»Pre-order here«

The LemonLight Prize opens March 1.

Let’s build this properly.
