About Astrophil Press


Astrophil Press is a literary publisher dedicated to innovative literary work. We publish work that is fertile in imagination and mind—literary art that many major presses and independent presses overlook. Astrophil is interested in innovative writing that grows out of an understanding of its lineage and seeks to work out of that lineage while actively breaking boundaries.

What we publish:

Fiction: Astrophil Press publishes fiction that defies genre, but does not ignore it. It is work that is at once playful but striking.

Poetry: Astrophil Press focuses on poetry that tells a story either through image or sound. Poetry that does not try to disrupt, but teaches its readers how to read and participate in its journey.

Critical: Astrophil Press is interested in Literary Criticism that focuses on contemporary authors or authors who have been overlooked by popular trends of the past and present.

Although there are three genres listed, we will not limit ourselves to genre. Astrophil Press is interested in dialogic work that defies boundaries and redefines writing. Although we are currently not open for reading manuscripts, we will post notice when we are open for submissions. At this point we are a small press and do not have the time nor the resources to pay proper respect to actively and carefully read  manuscripts. Any submitted manuscript will not be read and will immediately be tossed into the recycling bin. We thank you very much for your understanding and consideration of our situation.

Please do not send submissions, book proposals, or book outlines to us.
Again, we will update our website when we are open for submissions.

Great Kafka if we haven't been busy as of late! It probably doesn't seem like it because of the lack of activity on our site, but trust us, that is only because of everything that's been happening as of late!

First, Ellen Welker's book of poems, is formatted, the artist is working on the cover, and we plan to have it off to the printer quite soon...
