Apricity Press

About

Apricity Press is an online publication of poetry, prose, short fiction, visual art and dance works. Embodying the obsolete word it was named after, Apricity aims to manifest the feeling of the warmth of the sun in the winter in all that it publishes.

Established in 2015, Apricity Press was created to fill an immense void in the publishing world. While there are a myriad of presses, literary journals and magazines, many lack the ability to publish multi-genre works, especially dance works. Because of this, Apricity constructed a space where incredible literary, art and dance works could be published side by side, showcasing the tremendous inherent connections between the forms.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for expedited responses.
