About the press

akinoga press is a Baltimore-based micro press that specialzes in hand-bound chapbooks of a spacious/minimalist/austere flavor, though on the lookout for anything small, quiet, odd, easily-missed, and a hundred percent needs to be read.

akinoga press is currently not open for submissions. The tentative next open consideration period will be October/November 2026. Please see akinogapress.com/submissions for the complete guidelines. Please DO NOT submit novels. As a one-person operation, I unfortunately do not have the necessary time or uninterrupted attention to dedicate to publishing a novel, so please cap the projects you are pitching to around 50,000 words. And this should go without saying, but ABSOLUTELY NO AI BULLSHIT . If AI had any part in the creation, organizing, editing, proofing, or any other aspect of your manuscript, send it somewhere else; it will never have a home at akinoga press.
