Editorial Focus

Chin Music Press is a curiously bibliophilic indie publisher located deep in the recesses of Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. For 18 years, the focus has been on creating beautiful, engaging, and affordable books on a wide range of quirky and eclectic topics.

Tips From the Editor

Manuscript submissions can be submitted using our online form at www.chinmusicpress.com/submissions. We are accepting all genres at this time. There are no requirements other than the document must be formatted as a PDF or Word doc. Only one submission per reading period allowed.

We fully believe that representation matters, and we are working on fostering and supporting this as much as possible. 

We especially encourage manuscript submissions from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community members.
