About the Press

Unbound Edition Press believes publishing is a serious, important and powerful act. We mean to do it in our own way, and always to do it well. We are guided by a mission to respect and elevate emerging, overlooked and LGBTQ+ authors, and to make meaningful contributions to the literary arts by publishing their work. We support the vital work of PEN America, and are a proud member of the Independent Book Publishers Association and the community of literary magazines and presses [clmp].

Guiding Principles

Our actions and decisions are shaped by four guiding principles.


Authors come first.

We see publishing an author as an honor, a promise and a partnership. As authors ourselves, we personally know the work, worry, heartache and joy that goes into shaping a manuscript. When the right author and the right publisher connect, something wonderful can happen together. We both do our best, and we both share in the final result. Our contracts are written to be respectful of and fair to authors. And they are written in plain English, so we always enjoy an easy, mutual understanding.

Quality matters most.

Authors we publish must have a strikingly original voice and an outstanding command of their craft. And we must be extraordinary in our work, too. A top-quality manuscript deserves to become a top-quality book. We are committed to getting each step of the publishing process right by caring about every detail. That includes: timely responses to submissions, fair and ethical contracts, thoughtful and clear editing, exceptional materials selections, purposeful design and typeface choices, trusted production and distribution partners, and proven marketing approaches. Afterall, a well-made book is an artifact of inspiration. We think it should inspire other authors and future books, too.

Real reads better.

The deeply human experience of reading, holding, sharing and collecting books feels more important than ever. Readers prefer printed books for the undistracted focus, intimacy and quiet they help create, and for the proud accomplishment of closing one when completed. Bookshelves become memory archives of the people and places, the challenges and delights and ideas, introduced on the page. We believe in the power of real books, and choose to make them our primary focus. Digital tools are amazing and essential to help produce, distribute, market and sell books, but not necessarily the best to read them.

Small works best.

Making meaningful and beautiful things takes the focused time, attention and care of human beings. We can publish only a few titles each year, so each one really matters to us personally. Should we work together, we will talk frequently and collaborate extensively to create something remarkable. We cherish the intentional, thoughtful acts of writing and publishing, of bringing ideas to life. We want to keep it simple so that our focus is on books, not bureaucracy.
