Editorial Focus

akinoga press is a Baltimore-based micro press that specialzes in hand-bound chapbooks of a spacious/minimalist/austere flavor, though on the lookout for anything small, quiet, odd, easily-missed, and a hundred percent needs to be read.

Tips From the Editor

akinoga press is currently not open for submissions. The tentative next open consideration period will be October/November 2026.

Please see akinogapress.com/submissions for the complete guidelines. 

Please DO NOT submit novels. As a one-person operation, I unfortunately do not have the necessary time or uninterrupted attention to dedicate to publishing a novel, so please cap the projects you are pitching to around 50,000 words.

And this should go without saying, but ABSOLUTELY NO AI BULLSHIT. If AI had any part in the creation, organizing, editing, proofing, or any other aspect of your manuscript, send it somewhere else; it will never have a home at akinoga press.
