Editorial Focus

Thirty West Publishing House is open to many literary themes and poetic forms and styles. Think of how you can escape the mundane before you submit. The succinct, the startling, and the sublime. Some humor will keep them turning pages. They will root for intimate characters and their relationships with whomever/whatever. Lastly, they are proud to publish a majority of debut authors in any capacity.

Tips From the Editor

We host our open manuscript period in the summer. If you have a project that you're still working on, send us a proposal for a later release. Above all else, make sure we won't forget your name.

Our Substack-based literary journal and newsletter, Afterimages, is always open for creative nonfiction, essays, and book reviews. Check often for schedules and special submission calls.
