Our goal is to create a network and system of support for today’s independent author. Our service is to ensure that the stories we love and believe in are presented to readers in a manner that enhances an author’s work.

Contest Guidelines

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Show me that you are familiar with our press and how your book fits.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We look for stories that hook us and keep us interested all the way through to the finish. The ending needs to be satisfying.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Polish that manuscript one more time before you submit. Get help. Fresh eyes on your manuscript will see what you are missing.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
I love a submission that makes me forget I am reading through the slush pile. When I print it out, carry the manuscript to bed with me and stay up reading all night, that's the sign of a good book.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
We are an eclectic press, and so our ideal reader varies from book to book.
