What We're Looking For
To better understand Popcorn Press's publishing goals, please read "The GUP Method for Creative Writing" on our president's blog.

Fiction and Nonfiction Submissions
Published Authors: If you are a published author with a finished manuscript that does not suit your usual publishers, we would like to talk with you. Please contact us at the postal address or email address above so that we can arrange a conversation.

Unpublished Authors: If you are an unpublished author with a finished manuscript, we suggest that you find an agent and try to place your book with a traditional publisher first. (It’s always good to have New York’s marketing power and distribution channels promoting your work.) After that, if you still want to publish via Popcorn Press, drop us a line.

Poetry Submissions
Popcorn Press is always interested in considering submissions of poetry collections. A collection should contain at least twenty poems to be considered for publication.

Standard Contracts
Popcorn Press uses a set of simple, standard contracts (in PDF format)—one for book authors, one for anthology contributors, and one for anthologists who coordinate and edit a collection.

Editing Policy
Popcorn Press solicits professional manuscripts that are ready for publication. As a small-press publisher with limited time, we do not do editing or extensive proofreading corrections. If we reject a submission that shows promise but needs editorial work or heavy proofreading, we may reconsider that manuscript if it is resubmitted in revised form.
