Treehouse Press

We are excited to announce the winners of our first Three-in-One Chapbook Contest, and will be publishing chapbooks of their work in November 2011. The Three-in-One is the only contest of its kind, and we aim to bring you short prose and graphic stories that are unique in their originality and scope. This year’s winners – from the USA, the UK, and Holland – are no exception!

So, without further ado, please put your hands together for:
