We are currently closed to unsolicited submissions. Because we want to consider projects and timelines fairly and carefully with flexibility in mind, we don’t have open/rolling submissions for manuscripts. We might decide on a submission window in the future, and will update this page as well as our communication methods which typically include sharing updates at The Friday Collapse, our monthly virtual series held on the last Friday of the month. If we decide to open submissions, we will share the details then. We typically post on social media as well (FB, IG, etc.) and platforms like Substack.
We also share updates about anthologies during the Friday Collapse and discuss them as a community.
If you have questions about getting involved with Collapse Press, please feel free to reach out to us.
A few things to know:
We actively seek out and promote diversity and representation, and believe that small presses can and should provide platforms for writers who are often marginalized and historically underrepresented. Note that this includes actively encouraging and supporting writers with disabilities and acknowledging the differences in how we interact, promote, participate in events, and writer-centered plans and timelines. The ways that we work together on projects will be different for every writer, as will the activities that surround our books and events. In other words, every process from manuscript to book launch will be different and personal.
We are not concerned with who and what “sells” as much as out belief in the work and the person behind the words.
