We are currently open to submissions. Unsolicited submissions are also currently open at this moment.

What we are looking for:

• Completed previously unpublished manuscripts (includes self published)
• Works that push the boundaries of fiction
• Creative storytelling, strange vocabulary, interesting uses of grammar
• Thought provoking, dream invoking literature
• We would love to use our platform to highlight the voices of minority writers, but everyone is welcome to submit

Give us insight into a terribly mundane day that’s teeming with with strange interactions, send us a manuscript detailing a dream that will shake us to our core, submit something with an unnecessarily amount of commas. We want to give our readers books that will leave them deep in thought from the moment they read the title to the time they finally close the cover and beyond. We’re looking for works that will challenge us to change the way we think and help us to view the ordinary in a completely different way. Remember, anything can be monumental with the right mindset. Do not be afraid to push boundaries, explore the unknown, give definition to the indescribable. Even the job of a kitchen sink can be thrilling through the correct lens.

How to format a submission:

Please in the subject line include “SUBMISSION” in all caps followed by your manuscript name. For example, if your manuscript is titled, “Fish Daughter”, the subject line would read, “SUBMISSION Fish Daughter”. Within the body of the email, start with a short introduction of your name and include your pen name if applicable. Please include a short synopsis, your manuscript’s word count, and why you believe we would be a good fit for your work. We’re a small team and may not be able to get to you right away, don’t feel afraid to reach back out after two months without response.

We look forward to connecting with you!
