About the press

Pink Trees Press is an independent publisher and arts organization founded in 2015 with the aim of fostering emerging and underrepresented voices in contemporary literature and visual art. Its core mission is to create a supportive yet critically engaged platform for experimental and hybrid works that challenge conventional boundaries of form and genre. The press operates with a collaborative ethos, often working closely with artists and writers throughout the editorial and production process to realize projects that might otherwise remain marginalized.

Publishing focus

Pink Trees Press is a nonprofit press publishing the work of unique, living writers sharing voices that expand the familiar and cultivate imagination and resilience. The authors of Pink Trees reflect the heterogeneity of our country. Art spreads compassion and unites people which is what our nation is desperate for at this time. We currently focus on poetry collections, memoirs, creative nonfiction, and anthologies.

Artists and writers should approach Pink Trees Press with a clear sense of how their work aligns with the press's experimental and collaborative spirit. Submissions are typically open for limited periods, so it is advisable to check the website regularly for announcements. When submitting, include a concise project description, relevant work samples, and a brief artist statement that articulates your creative process and how it resonates with the press's mission. Patience is key, as response times may be longer due to the small team's involvement in each project.
