because the voices that are being suppressed, are the ones with the most important stories to tell
YOUR STORY, YOUR TERMS
No censorship.
No sanitization.
No bullshit.
The infrastructure for raw BIPOC storytelling has been shrinking.
For too long, platforms have asked us to dilute our culture and splice our language to fit their polished hush of consensus.
Prohibition Press exists for creators who refuse to compromise their truth.
We publish full manuscripts (books), and collections of individual works.
Poetry, memoirs, visual arts and hybrid work, exactly as they were lived.
SUBMIT YOUR WORK
CHOOSE THE PATH THAT FITS YOUR WORK
Path 01
FOR COMPLETED MANUSCRIPTS.
PUBLISH A BOOK
We publish stories that mainstream publishing overlooks, underfunds, or actively suppresses.
We especially encourage submissions from emerging BIPOC, immigrant, refugee, diasporic, and historically underrepresented writers whose work challenges erasure, displacement, and cultural silencing.
Path 02
FOR INDIVIDUAL WORKS.
THE ANTHOLOGY
We're calling on emerging creators to submit their best poetry, visual art or short story for our inaugural anthology, where work that refuses erasure is held together in print.
Selected contributors will help shape what Prohibition Press becomes. No cost to be featured. Contributors are paid if their work is selected.
