Our press makes books worth picking up.
What’ve you got to show us?
-
Book-Length Fiction
We are NO LONGER open to Unsolicited manuscripts for book-length projects. However, we DO reach out to folks who submit work we love to The Quarter(ly). Please consider submitting to our journal first.
-
Art
If you’re down to work with us and would be interested in illustrating a project with us, then send us a link to your Portfolio or Instagram. Our current model is to match up artists with “the right” project. This could be anything from a novel to a board game to a short zine. (And it may not be much, but we are a paying venue.)
-
Graphic Stories
Zine-length to full-on Graphic Novel, we’d love to see what you can do—as an individual or a team. We can’t pair writers with artists, unfortunately, but we’re actively looking to publish zines, standard-size comics, and graphic novels.
-
Poetry
Currently, we are NOT OPEN to Unsolicited manuscripts / poetry collections or chapbooks. We tend to reach out to folks via our Quarter(ly) journal. If interested in publishing poetry with us, consider submitting to our journal first.

Book-Length Works
We are NO LONGER open to Unsolicited manuscripts for book-length projects. However, we DO reach out to folks who submit work we love to The Quarter(ly). Please consider submitting to our journal first.

Art
Please send us a link to your Portfolio, an Instagram page, or whatever exemplifies your work. Also, please let us know what types of projects you’re interested in: Books, zines, games, or …? (If you have schedule preferences, feel free to let us know, too!) Email everything to chrisatquarterpress(at)gmail(dot)com.

Graphic Stories
We need a strong sense of both your story and art. If the work is a single-comic length (32 pages or less), then we need to see the entire project. For longer works, please send a 1-2 page synopsis of the story, 10 - 20 completed pages, and a realistic completion date to our Submittable Page.

As our publishing tastes cover a wide variety, here is a very incomplete list of authors, artists, and various media that we would die to work with / publish / have made. These are a HUGE indication of our aesthetics.
Erin Morgenstern, Susanna Clarke, Ben Templesmith, Neil Gaiman, David Almond, Take Shelter, The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand, Nova Ren Suma, Over the Garden Wall, Haruki Murakami, Donnie Darko, Daytripper, Jeff Lemire, Sean Murphey, Joe Hill, The Golem and the Djinn, Louise Erdrich, Luca, Samurai Jack, What We Do in the Shadows, Coen Brothers, Spirited Away, Brad Neely, Adventure Time, The Hawkline Monster, Michael Deforge, Allie Brosh, Kate Beaton, Graham Annable…
We love the blending of real life and the fantastic, the absurd, the magical, the heartbreaking, and the things that scare the shit out of us.
