About

a…p Press is the independent, small press imprint of After the Pause literary magazine. Our aesthetics and vision match that of the magazine, with all proceeds from book sales going to charity. We look to publish full-length collections of experimental poetry and flash fiction from the most exciting writers. We don’t care if you’ve published five books or zero books. We want to look at your wildest, craziest, most experimental pieces of writing.

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.
For book publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript. Do this unless otherwise instructed.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
