Essay Press is dedicated to publishing artful, innovative, and culturally relevant essays in book form. We are interested in publishing single essays that are too long to be easily published in journals or magazines, but too short to be considered book-length by most publishers. We are looking for essays that have something to say—essays that both demand and deserve to stand alone. We particularly welcome work that extends or challenges the formal protocols of the nonfiction essay—including, but not limited to, lyric essays or prose poems, experimental biography and autobiography, innovative approaches to journalism, and experimental historiography. Essay Press is edited by Eula Biss, Stephen Cope, and Catherine Taylor. We are writers who do not share a single cohesive aesthetic, but rather a dedication to publishing work that might not otherwise be published. With the help of our board of advisors—which includes writers Ammiel Alcalay, John D'Agata, and Susan Stewart as well as Graywolf Press editor Jeffrey Shotts—we expect to put out an eclectic catalogue that will include a few well-known writers and many new or emerging authors. |
