Editorial Focus

Splice publishes short fiction collections, novels, and collections of essays, with a focus on adventurous, unconventional prose. Although Splice leans towards literary fiction, the Splice catalogue also includes stories in other genres such as science fiction, magical realism, absurdism, surrealism, urban fantasy, horror, and speculative historical fiction. The primary interest for Splice isn’t story so much as language. The press is continually seeking fresh, inventive, and experimental prose styles and narrative structures.
