Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Mason Jar Press is an independent publisher of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and literary art that mixes it up. We amplify fresh voices and promote bold work that pushes the boundaries of literary norms. We believe literature should not only sustain readers but also inspire their curiosity to examine the status quo. The press publishes full-length books of prose, poetry, and everything in between, including a semiannual literary journal, Jarnal. We especially look to publish and promote both established and emerging writers from previously overlooked or underrepresented groups, such as the BIPOC and LBGTQ+ communities, in addition to translations from underrepresented languages, with a focus on those from the global south.
