Front Strike Press

See other projects related to this listing.

About

The goal for Front Strike Press is to be a place for interesting, thought provoking, and (possibly) triggering work to shine. Trauma exists in every generation, and poetry/short stories don't have to be all about love, nature, and the supernatural. Sometimes things go sour. Sometimes you need to pour your heart out in a Google Docs. And sometimes, your heart's vomit makes you want to cry a confusing mix of tears. Often times, presses - both big and small - have trouble publishing the most troubling parts of all. Front Strike Press aims to fill the void. But not all of the time! Nature, love, and the supernatural still have their place. Forever and always.

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.
