About the magazine

Apricity Press is an online literary and arts publisher founded with the aim of fostering emerging and underrepresented voices. Its name, derived from the archaic term for the warmth of the sun in winter, reflects a commitment to providing a nurturing platform for work that might otherwise go unnoticed. The press operates without a fixed physical location, allowing it to engage with a global community of writers and artists. Its core mission is to publish thoughtful, evocative work that challenges conventional narratives and celebrates the diversity of human experience.

Editorial focus

Established in 2015, Apricity Press was created to fill an immense void in the publishing world. While there are a myriad of presses, literary journals, and magazines, many lack the ability to publish multi-genre works, especially dance works. Because of this, Apricity constructed a space where incredible literary, art, and dance works could be published side by side, showcasing the tremendous connections between the forms.

Writers and artists should familiarize themselves with Apricity Press's previous publications to understand its aesthetic range.

No matter the genre, we look for work that’s sure of itself, work that has its own presence. We don’t conform to outdated notions of what art should and shouldn’t be, and we instead look for work that purposefully does whatever it wants to. Whether that’s a traditional sonnet or an abstract dance film filmed upside down and backwards, if you’re doing it on purpose, we want to see it!
