Xpress (trans-PRESS) Paradigm-defying Anthology

A project of Twelve Winters Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Twelve Winters Press is seeking submissions for an anthology of paradigm-defying print work with a publication target of October 2015. Submissions must work on or with the two-dimensional printed page and should be narrative in the broad sense – any account of fictional or nonfictional connected events – but otherwise we are hoping to see work so innovative that we couldn’t know how to request it prior to seeing it. Work may comprise graphics, text, and/or any other printable code, notation, or means of making meaning, and should combine, defy, pervert, and/or subvert existing notions of genre and idiom.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
