MadHat Press — Submissions

Overview
MadHat Press operates as an independent literary publisher with a commitment to contemporary writing across genres. Its rolling submissions policy reflects an editorial stance that prioritizes sustained engagement with new work over the pressures of contest cycles. The press does not impose a deadline, allowing writers to submit when their manuscripts are ready rather than according to an external calendar. While specific details regarding reading fees, payment, and publication formats are not provided in the available information, the absence of a fixed deadline suggests an editorial model that values the work itself over administrative urgency. MadHat Press has published a range of voices in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and its catalogue indicates a discerning eye for writing that resists easy categorization. For the submitting writer, this call represents an opportunity to place work with a press that has demonstrated a long-term investment in literary culture. The rolling nature of the call means that submissions are considered on an ongoing basis, though writers should consult the press's website for any updates to guidelines or terms before sending their work.
