pride microchapbook series
During the month of June 2026, fifth wheel press will publish 22 queer single-author or collaborative microchapbooks (one each weekday). These small collections will be available to download digitally for free.
First, credit where credit is due: the idea to run this series is heavily inspired by the Ghost City Press Summer Series (Kevin Bertolero), which published my first micro-collection in 2023. I also owe credit to Katherine Fallon from Whittle Micro-Press for showing me the true power a tiny collection can wield, as well as Kendall A. Bell from Maverick Duck Press and Aldrin Badiola from Artists from Maryland for implementing similar micro publishing practices.
Send us anything—any genre, any style, any subject. The only restriction is a hard page count cap of 10 pages of content (not including title page, acknowledgments, etc). Please do include acknowledgments if there is anything previously published in your collection; a ToC is not needed. Pieces in the collection may have been previously published, but please don't send us something that's been published before as a whole.
Additional specifics
Selected manuscripts will be published digitally by fifth wheel press for $0+ on Ko-fi. Any tips received will be paid to you, the author, on a biannual basis at the end of June and December.
If selected, your collection’s cover will be designed in house style for your approval. We are not able to accommodate outside cover artists at this time.
This does not come with our standard publishing contract—for simplicity’s sake, we’re treating it more like a big issue of a literary magazine than a book. Your agreement to participate in the series upon acceptance will grant us first global electronic publishing rights to all works contained in the collection (or second rights, if they’ve been published before).
No waiting period for previous fwp authors! We’d love to get some of y’all in the mix.
