About the press
Nat 1 Publishing is an independent press dedicated to books, chapbooks, and children's literature under 20,000 words. Founded with an ethos of accessibility and craft, the press prioritizes concise, well-wrought narratives that respect the intelligence of young readers and the formal constraints of the chapbook. Its catalogue reflects a commitment to emerging and underrepresented voices, favoring work that is playful, precise, and structurally inventive over market-driven trends.

Reading periodOpen now
Before submitting, review the catalogue to ensure your manuscript aligns with the press's focus on books, chapbooks, or children's books under 20,000 words. Query first with a concise synopsis, word count, and sample pages; simultaneous submissions are typically acceptable if noted. Expect a response time of several weeks to a few months, and avoid follow-ups before that window closes. Polish your opening pages—Nat 1 values immediate voice and structural control.
