PEN YOUR PASSION 

PUBLISH YOUR PROMISE

 

A NOTE TO MARGINALIZED WRITERS:

 

We recognize that traditional publishing houses have not always been a safe or equitable space. At Casa de Maria Publisher, your voice will not be tokenized. 

 

Your story will not be edited to fit harmful narratives.

 

Your identity is not a trend.

 

Your work is treated with respect and care.

 

If this is your first time submitting to a press, or if past experiences have felt dismissive or extractive, please know that you belong here.

 

WHO WE PUBLISH:

 

We warmly welcome submissions from writers who identify as part of historically marginalized or underrepresented communities, including but not limited to:

-Puerto Rican, Caribbean, Latinx, and Diaspora writers

-Black, Indigenous, and writers of color

-Survivors of violence, displacement, or systemic injustice

-Immigrant and first-generation writers

-LGBTQIA+ writers

-Disabled and nuerodivergent writers

-Youth and emerging writers

-Writers whose work centers on cultural memory, resilience, identify, and social justice

 

YOU DO NOT NEED FORMAL PUBLISHING EXPERIENCE TO SUBMIT.  HOWEVER, YOU DO NEED A CLEAR AND FULL COMMITMENT TO YOUR CRAFT AND A WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE THOUGHTFULLY IN THE PUBLISHING PROCESS.
