Press Pause Press is currently open for nonfiction submissions, with a stated inclination toward memoir and personal style essays. The press explicitly excludes academic or research essays, signaling a commitment to writing that is personal, reflective, and stylistically driven rather than scholarly or data-oriented. This call is for writers whose work engages the first-person perspective and the textures of lived experience. The submission guidelines are notably straightforward: there is no fee to submit, and the press does not impose a strict word limit, though they note that they typically do not publish pieces exceeding 20 pages. This suggests an interest in essays that are substantial but not sprawling, and that respect the reader's attention. The request for plain, readable fonts—Times New Roman or Garamond—further indicates a preference for clarity and accessibility over ornamentation, both in form and likely in prose. While no prize or payment is mentioned, the opportunity lies in publication by a press that values the essay as a form for personal inquiry and stylistic expression. Writers should consider this a venue for work that is intimate, voice-driven, and free from the apparatus of academic citation or research methodology.
