Ms. Aligned was founded to help the genders understand each other through the writing of women; we now welcome prose and poetry by writers who identify as women, nonbinary, or genderqueer.
Please see previous editions, available on Amazon.com. Works of prose should be up to 25 pages; works of poetry up to 10 pages. All submissions should be in standard manuscript format.
Upon our founding in 2014, Ms. Aligned was one of the few series devoted to prose and poetry about men written by women. In previous anthologies, a story set in the Hawaiian Islands satirizes the expectations that people bring to romantic relationships; a poem describes the brutalization of a father and the ways in which this affects his family; a personal essay describes how a girl sought, through her relationship with her grandfather, to recover from the loss of her father. These various voices, portraits, and histories contribute to the breadth and depth of Ms. Aligned.

Committed to the power of the literary arts to explore and illuminate the contemporary human condition, it publishes collections of poetry, short fiction, and essays. It aims to identify, develop, and defend writers who create thoughtfully challenging work which may not find a home with mainstream publishers.
The press is small and focused. We can publish only a few titles each year, so they must be remarkable. Each title is a personal choice, commitment and investment for us, and our mission guides the decisions we make. We are here to respect and elevate emerging, overlooked and LGBTQ+ authors, and to make meaningful contributions to the literary arts by publishing their work.
When submitting, please fully read and understand our guidelines. Any submission not adhering to these requirements will be rejected without viewing. Submittable is the only way we receive submissions. We cannot accept any submission by email or post.

If you are interested in submitting your work to us, please familiarize yourself with our titles and email us a description of your work; fiction and translation proposals always welcome.
June Road Press aims to publish books that lead readers to new places of connection, understanding, and discovery—books that guide and enrich, that transport and inspire, that help readers slow down to better know their environment and each other.
We want clear, accessible writing that shows an appreciation for slowness and detail, that’s maybe quiet and reflective, that can foster empathy or awareness, that’s both timely and timeless. Of particular interest is environmental writing and work that engages with the natural world or carries a strong sense of place or history.
