The people

Meet the team

A small press means the people who make the books are the same people standing behind the table. No distribution arm, no middle layer — just the crew, the stock, and a convention floor.

Who we are

The same hands, start to finish

Agada is small on purpose. The people who read the manuscript are the people who lay out the pages, box the stock, drive it to the show, and hand it to you across the table.

That is not a hardship — it is the entire point. It's why the deal is 50/50 and why the rights stay with the person who wrote the book. There is nobody in the middle to pay.

Where the books actually change hands
