JKPublishing's mission and purpose is to support and promote local writers and spoken word artists. We are here to give voice to the thoughts and dreams of area writers and poets and to encourage their growth and development.
Designated Space is Athens longest continuously running open mic night for the spoken word and is very friendly to new readers and there is never a cover charge. Designated Space meets every Tuesday, 9 pm, at Donkey Coffess & Espresso
17 ½ Magazine is our flagship publication. In it we showcase both written word and visual artists.
17 ½ Magazine is a quarterly publication with a limited printing run.
JKPublishing Presents poetry performance series is one night of featured poets. This series started in the Spring of 2007 and has been very
popular. Visit the performance page to view the latest shows.
Our newest endeavour is the Saint Louis Projects
