“Read those authors who write the way you hope to write, those who think the way you would like to think. But also read those who do not think as you think or write as you want to write, and so be stimulated in directions you might not take for many years.” - Bradbury in Zen in the Art of Writing

RE last post - we have bought four of those 200 stories. Thank you to all the authors who have trusted us to read your work.

Welp, we’re approaching 200 submissions already. It’s been a busy couple days since we opened. What an honor to read so many good stories!

We’ve been working on the website that will be Brown Hound’s new home at launch. It’s so good. We plan to drop the first story on February 5th!

Submissions open at brownhoundpress.com.

Y’all. One of our favorite writers submitted a story yesterday. That was acceptance number 3. Can’t wait to share it with you in February.

We bought our second story this morning. Got one to share?

On our first day of submissions a great story landed in our inbox from @libbycudmore.bsky.social. We bought it. Obviously.

Who’s next? brownhoundpress.com

Psst...have a cool short story you don't have a home for that fits this description? Submit it!

Wow, we certainly did not expect to pick up 200 followers and receive dozens of submissions on day one. Love it! Feeling excited about this new venture.

Guess what? We are open for business! Short story submissions now welcome at brownhoundpress.com.

And we WILL respond to submissions in a timely manner. I promise that right now.

Beginning a process that I have long considered, which is creating a small press. For now, this is a placeholder. But look for more details soon. We will be seeking offbeat fiction and literary mystery, with a sweet spot for Southern Gothic. @brownhoundpress.bsky.social
