Red Hen Press is committed to publishing work of literary excellence, supporting diversity, and promoting literacy in our local schools. We seek a community of readers and writers who are actively engaged in the essential human practice known as literature.
At this time we are especially interested in considering new novels and narrative-driven nonfiction.
We are especially interested in collections that use language to dramatize a singular vision of experience, a mastery of craft, a deep knowledge of poetic tradition, and a willingness to take risks. The series is oriented toward free verse, but we will happily consider other forms.
Parlor Press also publishes creative nonfiction and fiction but submissions are by invitation only. The data listed here refers to the Free Verse Editions Series, edited by Jon Thompson. We are launching a new series on poetics called "Illuminations" in 2017.
Mayapple Press is a small literary press founded in 1978 by poet and editor Judith Kerman. We focus on literature not often celebrated by either the mainstream or the avant-garde. This includes poetry which is both challenging and accessible; women’s writing; Great Lakes/Northeast literature; the immigrant experience; science fiction poetry; Jewish literature; and poetry in translation.
We ONLY accept unsolicited submissions during our open periods, which are generally in summer but not every year. Please watch our Submissions page for open periods, and then submit using Submishmash, our online submissions program. Please do not submit except during open periods.
We do not accept hard-copy or email submissions, although email queries are fine.
Mixed Genre or Poetry Collection: 50-120 pages.
For poetry, we lean toward the lyrical, eccentric, ambivalent and wildly imaginative. For mixed genre work, your manuscript may be a novella of poetic fictions, or a mix of flash fiction/prose and poetry.
To get a sense of our editorial drift, check out our titles and what we publish at A-Minor Magazine http://aminormagazine.com
We publish risky fiction and edgy poetry which means we're not afraid of excellent writing that is political, controversial, irreverent, subversive, satirical, or simply smart.
Please take a look at our website to get a feel for what we publish.
Founded in 1993, Kore Press publishes works of literary and artistic value by women, including those traditionally underrepresented in the cultural mainstream; promotes those voices; and educates young people about publishing and literary activism.
Kore Press publishes work through our three annual contests: Memoir, Short Fiction, and First Book for poetry. Check our website for updates on which contests are currently accepting submissions.
Our mission is share poetry through collections presented as an "origami" microchap. We publish a quarterly newsletter to let our subcribers learn of the new microchaps. We also hold an annual contest.
We enjoy writing that is insightful and leaning towards the positive. Don't leave us in a bottomless pit of remorse! The microchaps can showcase a poet's oeuvre in 6 brief poems or one longer poem.

Visitants pop up throughout literature as ghosts, as fits of madness, and as omens. In nature, a visitant takes on a different meaning: a migratory bird that has come to a place temporarily; a cicada that rises from the soil every 17 years. Here at Visitant, we have created a space where you and your temporary visitors—your stories, your art—might rest, grow stronger, and be shared. Send us your work! https://visitantlit.com/contact
