About the magazine

Tofu Ink Arts Press is an independent publisher and arts organization dedicated to amplifying marginalized and experimental voices in contemporary literature and visual art. Founded with a commitment to process over polish, the press operates as a hybrid entity—part small press, part curatorial platform—producing chapbooks, broadsides, and digital anthologies that challenge conventional boundaries of form and identity. Its ethos is rooted in accessibility, collaboration, and the belief that art-making is a communal act, often working with emerging artists who might be overlooked by mainstream institutions.

Editorial focus

Tofu Ink Arts Press , a not-for-profit celebratory venture, aims at publishing poems and other arts of un-humdrum’d inclusive rhizomatic errant possibilities.

Before submitting, familiarize yourself with Tofu Ink's catalog to understand its aesthetic range—work that is often hybrid, text-based, or visually experimental. They prioritize projects that demonstrate a clear artistic vision and a willingness to engage with community. Submit only during announced reading periods, and include a brief artist statement that contextualizes your practice. Response times can vary; patience and professionalism are appreciated. They are particularly interested in BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled artists, but all are welcome to query.

We support work of established and emerging poets and artists. We strive for triannual issues and now standalone books. We are looking for polished art and poetics that are absorbed in possibilities. We are committed to amplifying voices of the underrepresented and marginalized. Art makes you think about thinking. Absorb possibilities!
