For Authors

Submit your manuscript

We are stewards of the page. If your work is honest, unhurried, and unwilling to dissolve into the noise, we would be honored to read it.

Editorial Philosophy

How we read

Every manuscript that reaches us is read in full by a human editor. We are a small press by design — we take on few titles so that each receives the attention, patience, and rigor it deserves.

We seek literary fiction and memoirs with a distinct voice and an unwillingness to compromise. However, we will gladly consider all submissions.

For agented submissions, rights, or press inquiries, write to us directly. We answer every note.
