Hverdag Books (est. 2016) is a small publisher run by the artist and curator Jessica Williams.
Hverdag publishes unique and experimental editions for and about the everyday. The imprint is dedicated to publishing fragile, vulnerable, and raw works by underrepresented voices. Based in Moss, Hverdag has given many risograph and self-publishing workshops all over Eastern Norway.
Hverdag is sadly no longer able to accept print jobs, and submissions are temporarily closed. Stay tuned and/or get in touch.
