In 2003, Sandra Doller founded the international inter-arts journal and press: 1913 a journal of forms and in 2006 began editing and publishing books on 1913 Press . She still serves as editrice/editor-in-chief of 1913, which publishes diverse contemporary writing alongside early modernist experiments. 1913 Press authors include: John Keene & Christopher Stackhouse, Shin Yu Pai, Biswamit Dwibedy, Arielle Greenberg & Rachel Zucker, Diane Wald, Karena Youtz, Jane Lewty, Scott McFarland, Monica Mody, Ronaldo Wilson, Lily Hoang, and Andy Fitch & Jon Cotner.
