Thirty West Publishing House See other projects related to this listing. About Thirty West was founded as a passion project when our editor-in-chief was an undergraduate at Temple University. Since 2015, the hand-made aspect of the chapbook has been paramount, augmenting the reading experience with common and unique materials. Every book project comes with new responsibilities and new expectations; they grow legs of their own and can go anywhere. Our award-winning authors become family from Day One and go on to expand the contemporary literary canon. From the moment you read this, Thirty West is growing alongside you and values the community at large with more than just publishing. Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions. Important: Length requirements vary. Be sure to check current call restrictions before submitting.
