Editorial Focus

Bateau Press publishes the winner of the annual Boom Chapbook Contest. Their chapbooks are of the highest quality, well-designed, letterpress covers, hand stitched, and detail-oriented. They also publish graphic novels and other things that strike their fancy under their new INSTRUCTION MANUAL series. They look for manuscripts that are strong based solely on the work itself—no themes, games, niches, or elaborate construction structures. Just good writing. They are also an environmental conscious publisher.

Tips From the Editor

We usually get introduced to writers and artists through our Boom Chapbook Contest, but we are interested in meeting any/all writers and artists. Cold emails are difficult to respond to. Buy a book from us, check out what we do. Be persistent.
