Tips From the Editor
Ink & Ribbon Press values craft, clarity, and emotional truth. The editors look for work that balances intellect and feeling, with attention to language as both music and material. Poets and writers are encouraged to send cohesive manuscripts rather than collections of standalone pieces. Submissions are read with care, and design is treated as part of the art with each book a made thing. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, and emerging voices are especially encouraged to submit.
