About

Dark Coast Press publishes works of literary fiction, fiction, poetry, abstract, and experimental writing. We publish established and unknown authors. We encourage writers to take risks and readers to follow them into uncharted territory. We love crazy books. Old and new ones. Unfanthomable ones. Calm and clear ones. Simply put, we publish books we like.

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.
