Editorial Focus
Stillhouse Press publishes surprising, gutsy fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that can’t or doesn’t want to find a home in big publishing. We are drawn to the strange, the unconventional, the transcendent, the risky. We’re looking for work that pushes boundaries.
Tips From the Editor
Stillhouse Press opens yearly for manuscripts in one or two genres. In 2025 we will open for creative nonfiction, including essay collections and memoirs, from November 1, 2025 - February 1, 2026.
Only complete manuscripts will be considered for publication. For detailed guidelines, please visit our submissions page.
