Shiraki Press
Description
Shiraki Press is an upcoming independent publisher of short-form adult fiction with a hopepunk vibe.
These are difficult times, but we don’t have to suffer them alone. Join us as we publish stories that recognize the darkness while still finding hope, community, and joy amidst the chaos.
All submissions will be considered carefully, but we particularly delight in fiction that explores the indomitable human ability to stand against the dark and light the way to worlds that could be. We look for stories that remind us to stretch and grow beyond who we were before, to create and build worlds where connection emerges from chaos and community out-competes greed.
Above all, we believe that love is more durable than fear and small acts of kindness can lay the groundwork for real change.
*Genre Fiction: Speculative Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Alternative History, Legends & Fairy Tales, Gothic, Magical Realism, Noir, Occult & Supernatural, Romance, Action & Adventure, Mystery, Horror, Thrillers, Westerns
