Perceval Press

Mortensen started Perceval Press to publish individuals who may otherwise have gone unnoticed and to do so without compromise, while keeping prices as low as possible.^[1]

Perceval Press is known for its use of high-quality printing materials and press procedures, all of which are personally supervised by Mortensen, who has been called an "Indie Publishing Mogul"^[2] by The New York Times.

I go over all the books with a fine-tooth comb before they go out. – Viggo Mortensen

Perceval Press's slate is diverse, exploring poetry, song, graphic and fine arts, photography, fiction and non-fiction, scholarly essays and literature. Some of the books and CDs are by Mortensen himself, or in direct collaboration with other artists.^[3]

Mortensen once publicly noted that his work on the film Appaloosa caused him to fall behind in his 2007 obligations to Perceval Press and its slate of artists.^[4]
