About the press

3: A Taos Press is an independent literary press based in Taos, New Mexico, dedicated to publishing poetry and short prose that reflects the cultural and spiritual landscape of the American Southwest. Founded with an ethos of community and artistic integrity, the press seeks to amplify voices that are often marginalized in mainstream literary circles, emphasizing work that is both formally accomplished and deeply rooted in place. Its catalog includes titles that explore themes of identity, environment, and social justice, often with a lyrical intensity. The press operates as a small, curated endeavor, prioritizing quality over quantity and fostering close relationships with its authors.

Publishing focus

3: A Taos Press is a multicultural and ethically voiced independent press. Their poetry books always have a tight theme in each of them. They do not publish collected works of poetry, chapbooks, or anthologies. They do not publish fiction or nonfiction.

Writers should review the press's catalog to understand its aesthetic, which favors poetry and short prose with a strong sense of place and emotional resonance. Submissions are typically open during specific reading periods, announced on the website and social media. Prepare a polished manuscript of 48-80 pages for poetry, or a collection of short prose, and include a brief cover letter that articulates how your work aligns with the press's mission. Simultaneous submissions are often accepted, but notify promptly if accepted elsewhere. Expect a response time of several months due to the small staff.

Please do not send unsolicited manuscripts. A query letter with theme of poetry book mentioned is acceptable. Our books are all tightly themed.
