For writers

A small press, reading widely.

We're an independent publisher with a small list and a long attention span. We publish 8–12 titles a year across literary fiction, non-fiction, and poetry — books that take their form seriously and their reader seriously.

We read every submission. There's no agent gate, no genre prejudice; we'd rather find a book by surprise than by referral. If your manuscript is finished — or close enough that you can show us a strong sample — we want to hear from you.

What we're looking for

  • Literary fiction (novels and story collections), 50–120k words
  • Narrative non-fiction, essays, criticism, hybrid forms
  • Poetry (full collections, 60–100 pages)
  • Memoir with a strong frame — biography, place, an idea — rather than chronological autobiography
  • Children's and YA — if you have a sense of where your book sits on a shelf

What we're not the right home for

  • Genre fiction aimed at a wide commercial audience (we admire it; we don't publish it)
  • Self-help, business books, cookbooks
  • Manuscripts under 30k words (unless it's poetry)

What to send

The form below collects everything we need on a first pass: title, synopsis, a link to a sample (PDF or Google Doc), a short author bio. Please don't paste the whole manuscript in — we'll ask if we want to read more.

We aim to respond within 8–12 weeks. We read carefully; we say no kindly. If we're a yes we'll be in touch within that window with a real conversation, not a form letter.
