Abode Press, an intersectional, anti-racist 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Central Texas, has opened its chapbook reading period for hybrid manuscripts. The press is dedicated to uplifting underrepresented voices, with values rooted in intersectionality, anti-racism, anti-colonialism, and empathy. While the focus is on authors based in the U.S., writers from Texas and the American South are especially encouraged to submit. This call is for hybrid work, a form that resists easy categorization and often blends poetry, prose, and visual elements. The reading period runs from August 15, 2025, to November 30, 2026, and there is no submission fee. Abode Press seeks manuscripts that embody its mission, offering a platform for voices that have been historically marginalized in traditional publishing. The press's curatorial vision is explicitly political and ethical, prioritizing work that engages with intersectional identities and anti-colonial perspectives. Hybrid chapbooks up to 40 pages are eligible, and the press accepts simultaneous submissions, provided immediate notification if a piece is accepted elsewhere. This is a serious opportunity for writers whose work challenges genre boundaries and speaks to the complexities of contemporary experience. What sets Abode Press apart is its nonprofit status and its clear commitment to community. The press does not charge a fee, removing a common barrier for emerging and underrepresented writers. The chapbook form allows for a concentrated, cohesive project, and the hybrid designation invites experimentation. Writers should note the formatting requirements: Times New Roman or Garamond, 12 pt, double-spaced, with a cover sheet, acknowledgements, and table of contents. These details signal a professional and respectful approach to manuscript preparation. The press's location in Central Texas and its stated love for writers from Texas and the American South suggest a regional affinity, but the call is open to all U.S.-based authors.
