What did you learn in this lifetime?
We all have some story. A tale that brought us to this point, today. How did you become... who you are today? What lessons were bestowed upon you; by people you loved? What about who you admired? What did you learn from the people you grew to dislike? What left a mark so profound in your brain or on your psyche that it will forever be remembered and reiterated?
​
Whatever it is, whatever genre it falls under, however it is presented...
These are the projects we get excited about. Let us help you tell your story.
Dear Writer,
We know you have been dreaming of publishing your work. This is your sign to gather your notes; organize your thoughts and put something together. You've probably already got piles of things together. Likely, there's a fantasy somewhere in your brain, locked away in a dream of what your life could look like as a published author, only to be replayed whenever you are beyond ready to break free from your job.
​
Poa Alpina Press is looking for the beloved works of your heart which you long to show to the world. We are not a niche publisher; we want you to be comfortable enough, and ready to release your work into the world.
So... let's help each other.
Help us, help you.
Here's what Poa Alpina Press is looking for:
a query & a sample.
​
In the query, please let us know the following:
- your 'why' about the project- why is it important to you?
- how you plan to help market your project
- where you want your books to be sold
​
In your sample, please include the following:
- your documents in PDF format
- a SAMPLE of your work (a sample chapter - up to 30 pages, a smattering of poems - up to 10, a scene)
​
Please send the query & pdf sample to info@poa-alpina-press.com with subject heading 'SUBMISSION FOR PRINT - LAST NAME, FIRST NAME'.
​
A couple of things:
Do NOT send your entire project unless you have received an acceptance letter; instructions will follow.
Do NOT send your project in the body of the email. Please include a pdf attachment with the email.
​
Important!
Poa Alpina Press will never charge a read-through fee, HOWEVER, it is strongly advised that you as an author really take the time to consider what your budget would look like for editors, proofreaders, cover designs, and marketing. We will not ask for any money up front.
As a creative, you are absolutely welcome to take on some of these tasks, hire your trusted friends or acquaintances.
​
As a small press publisher, Poa Alpina Press will be able to afford you greater creative control over the publishing process.
Tell your story... someone needs to hear it.
Please complete the form to start the publishing process.
Starting a grassroots movement of people learning to tell their stories.
Jessica Fuchs
Talks about Food, has written about mushrooms. Gets really excited about Psychedelic Conversations though.
Jessica Fuchs self-published her first cookbook on Amazon. She handled everything from the cover design, to interior layout, content and marketing (or lack thereof). Jessica has learned quite a bit in the 2 years her book was on the market. She plans to pull it off Amazon's site at its 2 year print-aversary in mid-April. Look for an 8-part Mushroom Series to come later in 2024+2025. There is some fiction also brewing, so keep watch for more on that.
