Coffee House Press General Submissions

https://coffeehousepress.submittable.com/submit

Please note: Coffee House Press is not currently accepting unsolicited poetry submissions.

Coffee House Press publishes emerging and midcareer authors. Nearly all CHP authors have had works published in literary magazines or other publications (a resume including a list of prior publications can strengthen your submission). Although prior publications are important, they are not a requirement; part of our mission is to present promising debut authors alongside previously published writers.

Since Coffee House Press produces relatively few titles each year, our books reflect the individual tastes of its small staff. CHP looks for writing that instructs, inspires, and/or entertains the reader, and that does so with a unique voice. CHP currently publishes sixteen to eighteen trade titles annually.

Coffee House Press highly recommends that you familiarize yourself with CHP books to see if your work and their list are compatible. Most independent bookstores and many libraries carry their titles. You can also browse through their online catalog (coffeehousepress.org/books).
