About the magazine

Long Day Press is an independent publisher founded with a commitment to championing innovative novellas, story collections, and hybrid prose. Operating primarily online, the press has cultivated a reputation for prioritizing work that defies conventional genre boundaries and embraces formal experimentation. Its catalog reflects a dedication to literary craft and a belief in the vitality of shorter narrative forms within contemporary literature. At its core, Long Day Press seeks to provide a platform for voices that might otherwise be marginalized by commercial publishing. By focusing on novellas and hybrid texts, the press acknowledges the rich potential of these forms to deliver concentrated, impactful reading experiences. The press's ethos is one of thoughtful curation, valuing substance over spectacle and fostering a community of readers and writers who appreciate literary risk-taking.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Writers should approach Long Day Press with a clear understanding of its aesthetic preferences: work that blurs genre lines, experiments with structure, or explores the novella form with originality. Before submitting, thoroughly review the press's catalog to gauge its taste. Ensure your manuscript is polished, as the press values meticulous craft. Submissions should include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your work within contemporary literary conversations, avoiding generic praise. Simultaneous submissions are typically accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Given the press's online presence, electronic submissions are preferred; follow the specific guidelines on their website regarding formatting and word count. Patience is advised, as response times may vary due to the volume of submissions and the careful attention each receives.
