Editorial Focus
Blair is a nonprofit independent book publisher. They strive to publish quality writing, focusing on authors and subjects historically neglected by mainstream publishers, including women, people of color, authors with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ authors. True to their roots in North Carolina, they look to the many voices of the South—and beyond—as sources of work and inspiration.
Tips From the Editor
Please read our mission statement and submissions page on our website. We do not accept genre fiction, religious writing, or children’s stories. We do not accept unsolicited fiction and poetry outside of our contests.
