We seek to publish

exceptional writing

34thParallel publishes fiction, poetry, and short-story collections.

We seek to promote and publish the exceptional writing of new and emerging writers overlooked by large commercial publishing houses and mainstream presses.

Because we are also writers, we strive to work with authors, nurturing their talent, always respecting individual creative vision rather than only considering the potential for profit. With this in mind, we hope to publish books that may not fit in mainstream categories and that experiment with and test boundaries.

34thParallel Publishing was founded and created through the collaborative vision of two writers, Martin Chipperfield and Trace Sheridan Swan. Recognizing the need for independent book publishers, they formed the press with the goal of assisting other authors to write and reach readers.

34thParallel publishes 34thParallel Magazine, a literary magazine in printed and online editions. The magazine features short fiction, poetry, and interviews with emerging writers and artists. See submissions guidelines for more information.
