MadHat Press is an American and international book-publishing company located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
MadHat was founded in 2010 by poets Carol Novack and Marc Vincenz as a platform for new American and international writing. At first, MadHat published a poetry magazine, MadHatters' Review that has later grown into a poetry press. Writing about MadHatters' Review in PiF Magazine, poet Kristina Marie Darling noted that it "provides a unique forum for writers to experiment with form, narrative, and the relationship between text and other mediums."[1]
After Carol Novack's death that occurred in December 2011,[2] Marc Vincenz has become editor-in-chief.
In an interview with American Book Review, he outlined the magazine's editorial policy:
The press had an imprint, Plume Editions edited by the poet Daniel Lawless.[3] This imprint is now defunct. More recently, the press has also started publishing fiction and criticism.
