Our mission
We believe in the power of diversity in literature. We plan to publish a wide range of voices, and perspectives, whether it’s genre fiction, a collection of flash fiction, memoir, or literary fiction. We believe that the short novelette of approximately 10k – 20k words is under represented in publishing. We aim to remedy that.
Below is a list of authors we love. We like Bookshop because it supports authors, small presses, and independent bookstores. We receive a percentage of sales every time you purchase one of the books listed below.
