Another early surprise for the Bluesky crowd! Josh Savory's debut poetry book, The Sky King, is now available on our website. Our EiC (me) paid for it out-of-pocket with 100% proceeds going to paying staff.

Bluesky gets this a bit early. Congrats to the authors!

A Bluesky exclusive! This reading period was easily the most difficult one we'd ever had. There were a solid 20+ scripts we wanted to accept but it didn't feel right booking out until 2026. The authors listed here are all amazing and should be on your radar. Other presses! Send some emails!
