General Submission Information

Three Rooms Press seeks exciting and diverse new projects. Our commitment to excellence has led us to work on such projects as:

• Award-winning queer young adult and coming-of-age novels; 
• Memoir and biography of overlooked mentors, counterculture figures, or punk rock legends;
• Literary fiction and nonfiction inspired by underrepresented people and themes--and punk rock;
• Mystery and noir featuring complex, diverse main characters in contemporary settings; and
• Science-fiction and fantasy that shows exceptional writing rather than tricky gadgets 

For all of the above, please visit our website Submissions Guidelines page and follow the instructions to submit.

About PEACEFIRE

When a War ends provisionally, the agreement is called a ceasefire. But when Peace ends, there is only War. Ultimately, though: When was there ever really Peace? War and Peace are Co-dependent. So at this juncture, what might be best would be a PEACEFIRE. Stand up against the War that never ends and the Peace that never comes. Provocation is simply a media mogul selling fear as clickbait. Peace would make them poorer.
