Editorial Focus

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 Press proactively publishes writers looking to pound the pavement to promote their work and the work of their fellow pressmates.

We are honored to have 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, recipient of an honorable mention from the 2024 International Latino Book Awards. 

Tips From the Editor

We solicit our authors and do not take unsolicited submissions. However, if you send us an email attempting an unsolicited submission, I 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.).
