I founded Gasher in 2018 with the mission to provide opportunity, support, and visibility to a diverse community of emerging and established writers. In 2021, Gasher Press officially became a 501c3 nonprofit corporation and was a finalist at the CLMP's Firecracker Awards for Best New Literary Magazine 

​

Gasher Press was awarded a Small Press Future Fund Grant in 2024 from CLMP.

 

 We release five to eight titles per year and host several literary prizes aimed at uplifting a diverse range of voices in publishing, including the Bennett Nieberg Transpoetic Broadside Prize for a poem written by a transgender poet and the Two Languages Book Prize, which seeks to award publication to a manuscript engaged in any combination of English and a second language. ​​
