As a Small Press

Fiddleblack is a publisher and web-based distributor of unique independent literature. We oversee the production of books (mostly trade paperbacks) on a small scale, and with authors of the highest creative ability and intellectual rank. Many of our books are not available elsewhere, while some are reprints introduced back to the market with new content for dedicated fans. Our agenda is always to capture and record fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction of a certain caliber, and we place a primary interest in work able to give strong existential consideration of self and place.

In addition to the novels, chapbooks and collections we publish, once yearly we release something of a print edition of our digital journal. This book is very much an anthology of fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction collected from writers with whom we’ve worked in the past, or those who may have been invited by Fiddleblack editors. Each annual book has a certain interpretable theme, and it’s the duty of each writer to deconstruct and investigate that theme.

If you’d like to see your next book published by Fiddleblack, consider submitting your work to our digital journal. We do not consider unsolicited submissions to our small press.
