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.
This listing is permanently closed for submissions. This may mean one of several things:
It was always planned to be a limited-time project, such as a one-time anthology, and the limited-time submission window has ended.
The publisher has stated that they are permanently closed, or on hiatus with wording that makes it sound permanent.
The publication website is down in a way that appears to be permanent, and we haven't been able to find a new website for them.
The publication website is not down, but it appears to have been inactive for more than a year.
