We solicit our authors and do not take unsolicited submissions. However, if you send us an email attempting an unsolicited submission, we would strongly recommend that you include: a professional bio, a synopsis of your work, your work (or a sample) formatted in single space Times New Roman size 12 font, and any relevant links (website, socials, press articles, publications, YouTube videos of readings or performances, etc.).
El Martillo Press publishes writers whose pens strike the page with clear intent; words with purpose to pry apart assumed norms and to hammer away at injustice. El Martillo proactively publishes writers looking to pound the pavement to promote their work and the work of their fellow pressmates.
It has published WE STILL BE: Poems and Performances by Paul S. Flores, winner of the 2024 American Book Award and Paper Birds / Pájaros de papel by Sonia Gutiérrez, with an honorable mention from the 2024 International Latino Book Awards.
