Awst Press publishes impressive work from diverse voices. We do not currently accept unsolicited submissions.

In the past, we had curators select authors for chapbook series. We asked them to mix up the authors within their series based on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, genre, etc. Chapbooks are no longer printed but much of the work is available on our website. Some digital versions are available as e-books. We went on to publish full-length projects from some of these authors.

Each August after the press's birthday, we publish an essay series online. Curators are picked based on a general theme and then they solicit authors based on their specific goals for the series.

Book-length projects are published when they can be adequately supported and fit with the aesthetics and quality of the press. Authors who have been published previously by Awst Press are routinely considered, but other authors may be solicited for manuscripts as well. In 2019, we had our first Book Prize contest. Six of the participants will have books published through 2022.

Our books are distributed by Small Press Distribution.
