About the press
Quillkeepers Press is an independent publisher and literary organizer operating online, with a focus on poetry and anthologies that explore themes of identity, memory, and selfhood. Founded as a platform for emerging and underrepresented voices, the press has built its reputation through curated collections such as the 'Renditions' series, which invites poets to consider the many versions of the self. Its mission is to foster a community of writers who value craft, vulnerability, and the transformative potential of language, without the gatekeeping often associated with traditional literary institutions.

Before submitting, read the full call guidelines carefully and ensure your work engages with the specified theme—generic submissions are rarely successful. Quillkeepers Press values authenticity and emotional precision over formal experimentation for its own sake. Proofread meticulously, as the press prioritizes clean, polished manuscripts. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Response times can vary, so patience is advised; do not query before the stated reading period ends. Finally, familiarize yourself with previous anthologies to understand the editorial sensibility.
