About Us


Despite its status as a UNESCO City of Literature, Iowa City has shockingly little publishing infrastructure.

Oleum Press exists as a way to bridge the gap between authors and the world of printed books, so that Iowa City’s talent has a chance to get its ideas on paper.

We hope to expand in the future to the point where we can offer developmental editing, distribution to bookstores, and a more formidable marketing apparatus in addition to all our current services.
