what we
do
We support women writers through access to publication and the literary arts.
Literary Projects co-publishes with The Kind Press, cross-pollinating our thinking to bring a broad suite of literary services to a small number of projects that receive our full attention. Along with making books, we work with communities and creators to model new approaches to collaboration and reach readers wherever they discover books. We host a variety of literary projects, from prizes and partnerships to custom publications. Above all, we have the creativity, experience and ambition to deliver for our authors.

literary project?
Reach your
publishing goals
Welcome to publishing that feels like a powerful step in the right direction.
We take on books that other publishers have shied away from, the unconventional, the vital new work, the necessary. When you read something powerful, everything shifts.
We’re looking for interesting ideas and voices, particularly non-fiction, but also surprising fiction and poetry.

offer
