Querencia Press See other projects related to this listing. About Querencia Press is an independent publisher, seeking to amplify overlooked voices. We want to create a safe space for writers and artists to share their stories. We are especially interested in work that may have been looked over in the past for shouting too loudly. We want you to shout. We want you to make us listen. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for “tip jar” submissions and some submission periods. The fee is USD $3 (below average for publishers that charge). Important: “Tip Jar” submissions will be held until there is an open call out for that genre.
