Tropism Press was founded in 2001, to publish chapbooks by Heather Shaw and Tim Pratt. The chapbooks were originally meant to be given as Christmas gifts (an idea we borrowed from Charles de Lint's similar Triskell Press endeavors). We soon discovered that some of our readers wanted copies of these chapbooks, however, so we began offering them for sale.

In 2003 we founded Flytrap, a literary zine, published twice-yearly, in November and May, more or less.

Tim Pratt and Heather Shaw live together in Oakland, California, in the upper corner of a rambling old house with wonderful windows and fuses that blow at the least provocation. Links to their online journals (and thus to other information about them and their literary and personal endeavors) are below.
