Pride Microchapbook Series

A project of Fifth Wheel Press (see other related projects).

About

During the month of June, fifth wheel press will publish 22 queer single-author or collaborative microchapbooks (one each weekday). These small collections will be available to download digitally for free.

First, credit where credit is due: the idea to run this series is heavily inspired by the Ghost City Press Summer Series (Kevin Bertolero), which published my first micro-collection in 2023. I also owe credit to Katherine Fallon from Whittle Micro-Press for showing me the true power a tiny collection can wield, as well as Kendall A. Bell from Maverick Duck Press and Aldrin Badiola from Artists from Maryland for implementing similar micro publishing practices.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.

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.

Dates
