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.
