Who We Are
Fiddleblack is an aesthetic, not a term in reference to a tangible thing. Rather, we’re something rigid and imagined. Very much a construct for independent literature. And at that, one continually in pursuit of the metaphysical. A cartographer of self amid place.
Moreover, we’re a note of allegiance to a certain kind of author and reader. We move with a sense of continuity in our content choices, with the hope for more branded and consistent literature for literature’s sake.
What We Do
Fiddleblack is both a small press and journal for literature. We publish fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction, and we’re interested in literary and speculative works of a certain shade or otherwise starry character.
We edit, design, produce, house and sell your work ourselves—in both traditional and digital formats. Our focus is narrow and precise, but our love for the art is great.
