I met someone last week whose book was accepted and about to be published by a press she found on Entropy’s Where to Submit list. It made me so happy to hear that this list has a real effect on real people’s lives. Here’s to everyone who has had a success with a venue they found on this list. Keep at it. You’re why we do this.
This month’s featured artwork, “Savage Mountain,” is by collage artist and performer Emma Zurer. Her website can be found here.
As always, get in touch with Dennis James Sweeney (dennis@entropymag.org) if you’d like to see your venue included on our list. We are particularly excited to hear from women, people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ, and others who are underrepresented in publishing.
A last note: As you search for places to submit your writing, don’t forget the rest of Entropy’s cornucopia of offerings, which includes the Small Press Database, a compendium of small press interviews that has recently reached 115 presses. Do your research, keep writing, and good luck!
