Table Salt Press

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

Table Salt Press is an independent literary journal focused on prose, essays, and non-fiction.

Founded by the love of stories shared around the table, we want writing that lingers long after the plates have been cleared.

We’re a small, newly founded magazine searching for the stories we hope to tell, the ones we want to keep, and the ones we always come back to.

If you found your way here, pull up a chair. There’s always room for one more.

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.
