Join Us To Do Publishling Differently
We're building a new kind of press - one that puts authors first and changes how stories reach readers. If you want to be part of a fresh new publishing mode with new revenue ideas, submit your work through our submission form only. Bold voices and fresh perspectives welcome.
Submission Calls
Speculative Fiction
We welcome submissions of speculative fiction with a literary focus - stories that engage thoughtfully with speculative elements and tools through strong characters and meaningful themes. Our preference is for nuanced, character-driven narratives rather than genre cliches or sensational elements.
Please note the following important preferences:
-
We do not publish vampire stories or similar creatures that are often culturally appropriated or misrepresented (e.g. Dracula does not belong to Romanian culture).
-
We are interested in authentic mythologies, e.g. Romanian folklore, approached with respect and originality.
-
Alien invasions or extraterrestrial themes are acceptable only when the story's core focus is not on the aliens themselves but on the human or thematic elements surrounding the event.
-
We prioritize speculative literary works that build new perspectives and deepen understanding rather than rely on typical genre monsters or tropes.
-
We do accept absurdism and surrealism done well. Think Lewis Carroll.
Folklore Culture Around the World
We want short story collections of modern and realistic storytelling of folklore traditions to take us around the world with immersive cultural authenticity. Seeking regional voices from all continents:
Peru, Andes, South America. North America Indigenous and Native tribal traditions. Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, Aboriginal. Indonesia. Persian, South Asian, Siberian, Central Asian Turcs, Eurasian steppe culture.
Balkan, Baltic, Romanian, Harz, Ore, Basque, Latvian, Estonian, Sami, Pyranees, Caucasian. Mande, Ashanti, Berber, Bushmen, Egyptian.
Coptic, Ethiopian early church stories the world does not know. Zulu praise poems to Swahili sea legends. Sustaining ancestral voices through modern characters and stories.
Bring your legends to life. We seek partnership with cultural NGOs for talent identification.
Cross-Cultural Voices: Fiction and Non-Fiction
Not .... enough? Not traditional enough. Not black enough. Not native enough. Not one culture, one language, one story. We welcome cross-cultural, hybrid, and in-between identities. Stories that belong precisely because they do not fit into a single box.
We're also a place for writers who weave meta-cultural threads of the conversations around them into storytelling. Reflect on what it means to belong, to merge traditions, or to challenge inherited narratives or questions of what that cultural identity means?
Are you a woman from a culture where you are not allowed to be a writer? Contact us. If you can write in English and have amazing stories to tell, please get in touch from anywhere in the world.
Unlike legacy publishers, you do not have to be a best seller in your country first before we will publish you. Readers outside your country might have different tastes, and you might have an amazing popular story the rest of the world wants to see.
Imaginative worlds of Disabled Writers: Fiction and Non-Fiction
Universal themes? Worlds that only live in your imagination?
Request our accessible options to get your story into the world. Powerful memoir of unimaginable change or triumphant overcoming? Para-athlete on a quest for victory? Living in a world of silence or darkness you can draw us into your immersive world?
Just an amazing story of adventure or mystery? We want to celebrate your creative process. Make sure to contact us with your accessibility needs from submissions to editing processes.
