about

Essay Press is edited by Eula Biss, Stephen Cope, and Catherine Taylor. We are writers who do not share a single cohesive aesthetic, but rather a dedication to publishing work that might not otherwise be published. With the help of our board of advisors-- which includes writers Ammiel Alcalay, John D'Agata, and Susan Stewart as well as Graywolf Press editor Jeffrey Shotts--we expect to put out an eclectic catalogue that will include a few well-known writers and many new or emerging authors.

We are currently accepting submissions of essays ranging from roughly 40 to 80 pages, and we will be reading from June to September.
