Looking for the Next Many Penny Press Book

Looking for a writer who has work in print, in zines and/or on-line (published over the last 10-15 years), and may even have a number of chapbooks, yet does not have a full-length (at least 80 page) collection.

I've got some writers in mind and have started to make some queries, but I wanted to open the search up. Any suggestions?
