Awst Press is a literary publisher and magazine that has established itself as a discerning venue for contemporary writing. Its submissions call invites writers working in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction to submit their work for consideration. While the press maintains a distinct editorial identity, the open call reflects a commitment to reading unsolicited manuscripts and engaging with a broad range of literary voices. The reading period is a general submission window, not a contest or themed issue. As such, the curatorial vision is likely to prioritize writing that demonstrates formal control, emotional precision, and a resistance to the predictable. Awst Press has historically shown interest in work that sits at the intersection of the lyrical and the narrative, and in voices that are underrepresented in mainstream literary publishing. The press does not charge a reading fee, though this should be confirmed on their website before submitting. Writers should note that the deadline is exact: February 15, 2027. Submissions received after that date will not be considered. The press has not announced a prize or payment for this call, so contributors should consult the guidelines for details on rights and compensation. This is an opportunity for serious writers to place their work with a press that values literary craft over commercial trends.
