OUTPOST19 is always on the lookout for innovative projects. We publish exceptional fiction and engaged nonfiction. Take a look at our list and read a few of our titles to get a sense of what makes sense for us.
To address the intense interest in short novels, we've also launched The Shortish Project, a new initiative dedicated to promoting and publishing short novels.
New! One-on-one book editing for fiction and nonfiction book projects.
- Get a close, critical read of your manuscript.
- With feedback and suggests, from the overall structure to line edits to word choices.
- Talk it though one-on-one via Zoom or in person, up to 3 sessions.
- Work on your schedule and timeline.
- Review your publishing options, from agents to indie publishers to self-publishing, and look at potential promotions/marketing strategies.
We'll start with your intentions and goals, then we'll review your text together, looking at edits and offering straight-forward feedback -- while always prioritizing your concerns.
Work with Outpost19 senior editor/publisher Jon Roemer, in a friendly, intensive and supportive process.

Thank you for considering us. We're taking a brief hiatus from submissions. Our queue is loaded with exceptional projects. Watch for word here when our submissions open again.
When we invite submissions again, we'll be interested in novels, memoirs, biographies, reportage, short fiction and essay collections and innovative hybrids of all stripes.
We publish in print and digital formats, typically at a conventional book length.
When we start reviewing projects again, you'll use the form below to briefly describe the work you're submitting and to tell us a bit about yourself, including any previous projects, short or long, in print or other media. Please include the full manuscript too.
