About

Tryworks is an independent press in Lisbon and Los Angeles.

[About copy to come: the house, sorted by what a book promises.]

A try-works is where a whaleship turned what it had caught into something that would keep. Once lit, it needed no wood; it burned on what it had just rendered. To try, in the old sense, was to render. It also meant to attempt. An essay is a try. So is a book.
