YesYes Books — Submissions

Overview
YesYes Books occupies a distinct position at the intersection of independent publishing and literary magazine editing, maintaining a catalogue that reflects a sustained commitment to work both innovative and accessible. The press has built its reputation on publishing voices that challenge conventional narratives, and this open call extends that curatorial mandate across fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. The absence of a prescribed theme signals an editorial posture that privileges the singular quality of the writing over adherence to a topical brief. The magazine's history suggests an interest in writing that is emotionally resonant, formally inventive, and culturally engaged—work that demonstrates craft and ambition without sacrificing clarity or feeling. For the writer, this is an opportunity to place work with a press that has consistently supported authors at all stages of their careers, from emerging to established. The submission window, extending to June 1, 2027, allows for deliberate preparation. While specific details regarding fees, prize, and location are not provided, the open call itself represents a genuine invitation to contribute to a literary project with a clear editorial identity. Writers are encouraged to review the press's existing catalogue to understand the aesthetic and intellectual territory it occupies.
