Editorial Focus
Baobab Press seeks books that communicate and support their themes through new and well-articulated means. They like risk. They like invention. More importantly, they look for a quality of thought that adds depth to a writer’s concerns. And although it is not an official requirement, they tend to select literary work with a strong sense of place at its core.
Tips From the Editor
Collections or novels that do not fall within the noted page ranges will not be read.
We appreciate cover letters but keep them simple.
Check for “Track Changes” in your documents before submitting.
Many well-written collections of poetry and short fiction are passed over because the entries do not demonstrate a range in tone.
You got this.
