Tips From the Editor: 

C&R Press welcomes submissions from female, minority, LGBTQA+, immigrant, progressive, international, and submerged voices. If a fee waiver is needed, reach out via FB or IG for details. We publish literary, bold work that may not fit mainstream markets but is full of pathos, nuance, and patina. We seek writing with strong voice and dynamism—something brave, experimental, or odd. Our catalog is eclectic, including international voices, genre works with literary edges, and diverse memoir and poetry. We value experimental, award-winning, and unique works that deserve a place in the literary world.

Titles per Year: 
6 to 10
