at First Matter Press Publishes
First Matter Press is committed to breaking down barriers to publication of self-aware waves of literature and fostering community and self-ownership. We have made it our mission to dissolve those obstacles while facilitating writer influence over the definition of quality writing.
First Matter Press primarily publishes experimental and cross-genre manuscripts. We also consider work that does not fit standard publishing categories. We are especially interested in manuscripts by first-time authors and those whose voices remain unheard in the current poetry landscape. We encourage LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors to submit.
We take pride in cohesive, professional design that envelopes all manuscripts in a release into an organism larger than itself, which is why our editors and authors collaborate with featured artists on cover art for all titles.
