Let’s work together
Our vision & who we are
TILTTILTTILT exists to give readers affordable, tangible access to poetry, short stories, and other forms of written words from around the world. We offer writers a way to get physical with their work as we do not do digital releases.
It’s important to understand what we are not: We’re not a print-on-demand service, and we’re not a self-publishing company. We’re an independent publisher with a clear vision and while we are open to anything we will only publish work we believe in.
What CAN you expect from us?
We publish poetry, short stories, and experimental writing as high quality chapbooks, collections, posters and whatever else can be a medium for it. As a publisher, we curate what we print. Our format (chapbooks) and business model (minimal warehousing, direct sales) let us take creative risks with the work we publish and we do so.
If we accept your work:
We won’t take editorial control. Your words remain yours.
You keep all rights. We only receive a non-exclusive right to publish the chapbook.
We’ll collaborate on layout and cover design to make it look and feel right.
We handle production, sales, and international shipping.
We pre-pay you for the agreed upon print run per copy we print. There are no running obligations.
If your chapbook turns out to be a hit, we’re happy to talk about taking it further.
