We are a small press publishing good things in Greenville, SC.
Since 2018, Good Printed Things has published work focused on connection – with ourselves, others, and the surrounding world. Specializing in small print runs, we proudly work with emergent and established writers and artists to seek out, explore, and celebrate the good.
Hi, I’m Lib—the designer and founder of Good Printed Things.
Several years ago, I convinced my friend Beth to make a book with me. Working on this project energized me in a way that other design projects never had before. I realized that making books was a way to combine my love for art, reading and good design.
That first project kickstarted what has become Good Printed Things.
I love the way print projects take up space. They’re a tangible artifact of creative work. As designer and publisher, I get to support artists and writers through print design. Making books lets me shine a spotlight on thoughtful, compelling work.
When I’m not working on Good Printed Things, you can find me organizing the next Indie Craft Parade—an art festival I co-founded in 2010—and hanging out in beautiful Greenville, SC with my husband and two kids.
Guided by what's Good
-
Start from Connection
We have strong community roots. Our projects spring from grassroots connections with writers, artists, and readers who might otherwise fall through the cracks of mainstream publishing.
-
Lead with Curiosity
Wonder is alive and well. We lean into ideas rather than skimming the surface. It’s how we—along with our writing and artist partners—develop unique ideas and deliver compelling work.
-
Follow the Creativity
Creativity thrives in wide open spaces. We make room for it, responding dynamically to the needs of each individual collaboration. Our work is best when we center human creativity.
-
Stand on Quality
Though we take a human approach to design principles and literary value, we always seek to honor both. Our task is to thoughtfully marry aesthetic and thought work each step of the way.
