Close to the Bone Publishing

We are a 10 year-old publisher aiming to bring you gritty and interesting short fiction across multiple genres from a range of talented writers. We are looking for bank robberies gone bad, double-crossing bastards going at it, serial killers with a heart (maybe literally), redemption and revenge. We like it thoughtful and well written. We publish work that is gritty, graphic and disturbing and stress readers err on the side of caution when reading certain themes. We will consider other genres such as western, science fiction, transgressive fiction and maybe fantasy, as long as they fit in with the grit theme we are looking for. We are not bothered about form and shape. As long as it’s noir and punchy, we will consider it. We publish novels, novellas, short story collections and sometimes, chapbooks.

EpiphanyMill

While EpiphanyMill is a traditional publisher in every sense of the word. They will never charge for such important details as: editing, cover art, or marketing. They frequently hear the question, “why publish with you, as opposed to self-publishing?” The answer is simple. While they would never discourage an author from tackling their dreams, most self-published authors devote 60% or more of their free time to marketing. The good folks at EpiphanyMill firmly believe that an author should be able to commit their full focus towards their passion – writing.
