Note: may not respond in the of rejection (this is not stated in the guidelines, but is stated briefly as confirmation when you submit)
We are a library dedicated to publishing short stories that exemplify the wide variety of human experiences. We encourage raw vulnerability. Our perfect writers write drunk and edit high. We do not want perfection; we want expression.
We believe literature is a window into the human condition. As such, we want stories that further explain your personal experience. By combining different values and experiences, we will create an anthology that can expand the perspective of our readers.
Burton’s Library is a passion project that hopes to allow writers to write what they enjoy writing over what other publishers encourage for sales. Our primary goal is to encourage writers to be more personal and expressive. We desire writers who have never published their most personal work in fear of being rejected by the consumers.
We hope you will join us on this journey and become a member of Burton’s Library today.
