Conium Press A project of The Conium Review (see other related projects). About Conium Press is a boutique publisher with a limited catalog. We work on a single book at a time. Each year’s publishing decisions are determined based on the submission pool, available budget, and editorial workload. We pursue standalone titles that might get overlooked elsewhere. We’ll consider your experimental manuscript. We’ll even toss around the idea of turning a single flash fiction into a micro-chapbook or broadside. If you have a story that you think should be published as a standalone project, we’ll take a look at it. We’re always interested in seeing atypical work. We lean toward strange, surreal, magical realist, and experimental fiction. Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees. Submission Caps: They may close to submissions early if they reach their quota. Want more insight into the affiliated editors' preferences? Read our interview with the editor(s) of The Conium Review.
