The Elephants A project of Fonograf Editions (see other related projects). About The Elephants is an open-genre, independent press that works in Victoria, British Columbia, on the traditional lands of the Lekwungen, Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples; and in Portland, Oregon, on the lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and other tribes. It publishes heterodox materials as acts of love and solidarity with the communities in which they’re created. It’s with the underdogs: war on the palaces, peace to the huts. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 14% of publishers always charge fees.) The fee is USD $15 (average for publishers that charge).
