Steerforth Press About When four partners launched Steerforth Press in 1993, its first catalog featured “Manifesto for a New Press” which declared “Our interests fall into no category, no field, no niche; our tests of a book’s worth are whether it has been written well, is intended to engage the full attention of the reader, and has something new or important to say.” Important: Query first. The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.
