Independent Press for Independent Artists

We are writers trailblazing our own way in the industry. Our mission is to bleed empathy into everything we do. Here, we focus on stories of hope in the face of adversity, acceptance in a world of judgement, and pride in diversity.

Diversity

Our mission is to give a voice to authors of fiction that is not as widely produced in the mainstream. We seek stories of hope, love and growth surrounding non-traditional lifestyles.

Genres

Genres we prefer are Fantasy/sci-fi, romance, mystery, creative non-fiction, and literary fiction. Please check our submissions page for information on our process, and if we are currently accepting stories.

Sensitivity Reading

Our unique experiences in life make us each expert in the ability to assist authors with their stories that depict taboo subjects. We can assist you through tough scenes, taboo topics and writing the other.
