Description and Reader Names: No Empire and Small Press Pittsburgh are pleased to announce the release of In Case of Emergency, an all-new zine by writer Matthew Newton with original illustrations by William Arthur and layout and design by Peter Rentz. Set in the height of the Great Recession, In Case of Emergency tells a true story of personal crises—both past and present—that take place between the disparate worlds of adolescence and adulthood. Printed on a Risograph GR3750 using 100% recycled paper and limited to an edition of 100, In Case of Emergency is the debut release from No Empire, a small press publisher based in Braddock, Pennsylvania.

Hosted by pop up bookstore, Small Press Pittsburgh, this is SPP's first author event.
