Our press is open to submissions, but only in the sense that a locked door is “open” to someone willing to pick it. We are looking for work that is ambitious in scope and execution—formally intricate, syntactically alive, and conceptually unwilling to play dead just because it might sell faster if it did. If your piece can be paraphrased in a single earnest sentence without that sentence instantly becoming a parody of itself, it’s probably not for us. We want language doing something only language can do; forms that generate their own necessity; ideas that resist the interpretive hospice care of easy thematics. Send us work that feels like it had to be built from the ground up rather than slotted into the prefab narrative condos currently passing as literature. Surprise us. Challenge us. Make us read it twice.
