About

Blue Cedar Press is an independent press seeking to publish limited edition, beautifully designed, and well-manufactured literary books.

We are an independent small press publishing high quality fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from courageous voices speaking from the depths of human imagination and experience.

We are well aware of the cynicism and bravado coming from many corners of our political, social and academic communities. Our pledge is to bring you honest spokespersons, from around the world, to present unique and critical voices to counter mean rhetoric with the music of literary art.

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.
