SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN
Butter Press centers queer, non-binary and transgender voices. We seek to publish emerging and established artists alike. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, however we ask that we are notified if a piece is accepted elsewhere. We also accept work that has been previously published.
We currently accept poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction submissions. All work should be sent by email. Please include a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file with an author bio in the body of the email. We encourage pronouns and portfolio/social media links be included in the bio.
We ask that if you do not identify as queer, trans, or non-binary, you do not submit.
Please note: all submission periods last two months. All submissions will recieve a response after the submission period has closed.
