Blue Crow Publishing: A Small Press with Big Dreams
We are an independent publisher of fiction and nonfiction founded in 2016. We publish fiction of a variety of genres under our Blue Crow Books imprint, and nonfiction, including memoir and social commentary, under our Raven Books imprint. Our Young Adult imprint, Goldenjay Books, will publish its first titles in the fall of 2017.
We are also an independent online bookstore. We sell our paperback titles on our website e-bookstore. If you buy our books here (rather than through Amazon.com), more money goes to small press authors.
To stay apprised of our book launches and of our open submission periods, follow us on social media and subscribe to our eletter. We would we love to connect with you.
Are we accepting submissions? We always accept submissions via referral. Otherwise, please see our submissions page.
