RAINPROOF WELCOMES YOUR SUBMISSIONS.
Rainproof Independent Press seeks work that is deeply committed to an artistic vision and aslant from the marketplace. We are open to submissions in two formats and practices.
Chapbooks
Our line of chapbooks publishes both poetry and art. For poetry, we’re looking for a single long poem or a sequence of related poems. For art, we’re interested in drawing and illustration that’s primarily the work of the human hand, either a collection of pieces or a single project. A submission that combines words and pictures would be received with interest! Our chapbooks run 24-32 pages. To submit, please send your entire ms. as a PDF using the form on this page.
Novels
We publish literary fiction only. However, literary fiction being the genre of no genre, we welcome submissions with speculative or other cross-over elements. We’re looking for sharp, deft fiction that displays a mastery of the novel form and runs about 50,000-75,000 words. To submit, please send your first 15 pages as a PDF using the form.
