Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Baobab Press seeks books that communicate and support their themes through new and well-articulated means. We like risk and invention, but more importantly we are looking for quality of thought in work that adds depth to its concerns. And although it is not an official requirement, we tend to select literary work with a strong sense of place at its core. Ultimately, our goal is to publish work that resonates in the contemporary climate and that will continue to resonate in years to come.

Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
Most of our publications come from unsolicited manuscripts, and the best part of publishing is reaching out to authors to let them know we love their work.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Someone who is not easily frustrated by work that tests, or hopefully carves its own path, while deviating from traditional expectations of commerical literature.
