Please print out this agreement and fill-in all fields.

A Chapbook is an inexpensive, small booklet (5.5" X 8.5") containing works of popular literature such as poems, ballads, stories, essays, genealogies, lyrics, recipes or memoirs.   Mosaic Musings Publications offers quality, decorative and affordable chapbooks that can be custom designed to suit your needs.  Our chapbooks are saddle-stitched (staple-bound booklets) and may contain customized information about the author, an introduction, foreward, dedication, a table of contents and other special print requests.
