ABOUT:

Liars Corner is an Appalachia-based boutique publisher of fine art books committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized and underrepresented communities. We believe that stories from these perspectives are essential to shaping culture, preserving memory, and creating deeper connections between people. Our work is grounded in the oral storytelling traditions of Indigenous and Appalachian communities—where storytelling has long served as a vessel for history, belief, and belonging.

The name Liars Corner is inspired by Millfield, Ohio storyteller Carl Brown, who brought people together around a campfire in the Appalachian foothills to share stories. He affectionately called the gathering spot “Liars Corner” in honor of the friendly competition to tell the tallest tale—a celebration of imagination, creativity, and communal joy.

In that same spirit, we collaborate with artists to turn their narratives into books that honor the past while exploring new creative possibilities. Each project is a dialogue—between image and design, artist and audience, tradition and innovation. We aim to preserve the enduring power of storytelling while pushing the boundaries of the book as an artistic medium.
