Augur Press
Description
Augur Press publishes speculative literature that breaks down walls between literary and sci-fi/fantasy spaces. We seek work across genres: poignant dark fantasy, crisp science fiction, lush secondary world adventures, contemporary gothic, quiet myth-building, and dreamy realism.
We especially encourage work that defies easy categorization – “too speculative” for literary venues or “not speculative enough” for genre publishers. However, our mandate includes the full spectrum of speculative works from the barely-speculative to the extremely campy. Give us a try.
