Editorial Focus
The goal of Backbone Press is to publish and support writers of color. Backbone Press has been publishing diversely since 2012. They debut and support writers who are considered marginalized voices and whose work may not be published elsewhere. Their press was started as a response to the bleak state of diversity in publishing. They believe that in art, but certainly the literary arts, every voice is essential.
Tips From the Editor
We rarely publish manuscripts outside of our annual chapbook contest and haiku manuscript contest. We only accept submissions via Submittable. As we only publish chapbooks, our print runs are small, so please inquire via email before placing large shipment orders.
