about

Hverdag Books publishes unique and experimental editions for and about the everyday.

hverdag = everyday

Based in Moss, Hverdag Books is an artist-run imprint dedicated to publishing vulnerable and raw works by underrepresented voices, primarily in Norway. Hverdag is a place to put things down: poetry, conversations, hybrid and visual essays, and more.

It is also the publishing practice and risograph print studio of Jessica Williams since 2016. Williams has taught a number of risography and self-publishing workshops and presentations for students, adults, teens, and children — all over Norway and also abroad.

Sadly, Hverdag is unable to take on print jobs but is happy to give advice on self-publishing, and/or printing with risography. The riso is also out of commission for analog workshops due to a broken scanner.

As of October 2025, the studio is based around a (mini/B4-size) risograph CV3230 with 7 colors: Black, Grey, Yellow, Sunflower, Fluorescent Pink, Red, and Blue.

Hverdag is thrilled and humbled to have received support from Arts and Culture Norway for its publishing program between 2023 and 2026. First through the Pilot for the distribution and display of artist publications, afterwards through Project support for exhibition spaces.

Though the funding is substantial, it does not cover all operational costs. But this project could not continue to exist and persist as it does without. Thank you for the trust!
