About the press

Edutainment Nite Publishing is an independent press and literary platform based in Alaska, dedicated to amplifying the voices of the North. Founded with a commitment to narrative in all its forms, the organization operates at the intersection of education and entertainment—hence its name—fostering a community where storytelling is both a craft and a shared experience. Its flagship initiative, the Alaskan Short Stories series, invites writers to contribute to a biennial anthology that captures the complexities of life in the far north, from urban Anchorage to remote villages and the vast, unforgiving wilderness. The press emphasizes accessibility and regional relevance, seeking work that resonates beyond stereotypes of frontier adventure, embracing instead the nuanced, contemporary realities of Alaska.

Manuscript submissions

Reading periodOpen now

Writers interested in submitting to Edutainment Nite Publishing should first familiarize themselves with the tone and scope of previous Alaskan Short Stories anthologies. The press seeks work that is deeply rooted in place—whether through landscape, culture, or social dynamics—and that avoids clichéd depictions of Alaska. Stories should be well-crafted, with a strong sense of voice and character. While there are no strict genre limitations, speculative elements should be grounded in emotional truth. Submissions are typically open for several months prior to the publication year; check the website for specific calls. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your connection to Alaska or the North, if any, and a short bio. The editors appreciate concise, polished prose and are particularly drawn to narratives that illuminate the everyday and the extraordinary in equal measure.
